Nottingham Forest vs Aston Villa post-match thread

[Clampy]

Just seen the goals fuck me this defence us fucking embarrassment.  If they had 9-5 jobs they would be sacked for being so shit.

Ill happily  replace the lot of them come the summer.

Can someone please bring back the team of 2023 to replace this Blues one of 2024 that cant defend to save their lives please?

Oh dear.

That’s ridiculously stupid. We’re doing fantastic in the Champions League and not bad in the league.

He has a point about the can't defend part, though.

[Risso]

The defence IS a fucking shambles though. Nearly two goals a game conceded for the whole of 2024. Piss poor.

[Clampy]

Personally, although I thought it was a good sub at the time, I think he fucked up bringing Onana on. It screamed 'keep it tight, see the game out' type sub and maybe put us in defensive mode.

[cdbearsfan]

I thought he brought Onana on for his height. Not that it worked but I could see the logic.

Doing well in CLz- how we doing in league ian? Tell me how thats 'ridiculously stupid' ?

Also please present factually how we are defensively better this year than 2023?

[Ian.]

We’re 5th in the Champions League and so far we’ve been quite tight defensively. The league form is very different and we are leaking. To state you want to change the whole defence is rather silly.

[pelty]

Personally I thought they were very good, they kept the ball well, very physical and direct. At times we were ok, but we seem to lack ideas going forward. They are a very good side this season and have impressed me numerous times.

Not sure what you were watching. Forest looked like rubbish. Possession, sure, but little else.

This is a garbage statement, forest played pretty well, good in wide areas and put us under a decent amount of pressure.

If you think they're rubbish then we must be fucking league 2

I just disagree. Based on today’s display, they are an average team. Now, on other days, they are better than that, but today was not impressive. We just did our weekly bed-crapping routine and handed them the game.

Our defense is closing in on League Two, yes. It is beyond calamitous at this point. It is embarrassing how the entire game plan was to target our right side again and again and again. Emery did not do well to leave Cash out there as long as he did. He clearly was exhausted. Blame to go all around at the back. Could do with not seeing Carlos or Torres - and especially both of them together- for a long while.

Sixth. I'd settle for that at the end of the season all things considered.

Ian if we want to be a top side we cant leak this many goals. In fact one player i wouldnt change is digne as he has generally  been good. Carlos, pau, carlos and cash have been pretty poor most of the season. Its clear to me you need upgrades if you want to be challenging the top four - my sock draw looks more organised than this shambles of a back four.

Inexcusable to lose a game in that fashion. You expect this from a sherwood team not a emery team

6th/ 7th with the business we did in the summer would be a bit of a result.

[john2710]

Forest are just a shit Newcastle & the ref allowed them to get away with all sorts. Astounding that the penalty wasn't given & that was afoul on Cash.

In that last 20 minutes we were physically weak & lacked a defensive leader. They were first to every ball into the box. We don't defend as if our lives depend on it.

[brontebilly]

He could have put a garden gnome in for Tielemans and it would have been an improvement. Onana was decent I thought.

[BoVillan esq]

Sixth sounds good to me, the CL is a great adventure, but we need to stay in contention in the league I would also add to this lets treat the FA Cup very very seriously, may not seem like it right now but a walk out at Wembley in the summer and to bring home some silverware would be a massive achievement
