Aston Villa v Forest Post-Match Thread

[kippaxvilla2]

If the FA had control of football they should take away his badge. Setting up a team like they were from a conference league. It's the best league in the world and you are there to try to win. If ever you wonder why English managers don't manage England. Dyche FFS

To be fair we are a good side especially at home.

[Halfway to Moseley]

Great to bounce straight back after the Arsenal defeat.

The atmosphere was pretty flat but, as others have said it was a mix of early kick off, it being absolutely freezing, and Forest just camping on the edge of their area and flat out refusing to play football.

A club like Forest, with the players they have,  should not be playing Dyche’s brand of anti football. They’ve fallen off an awful long way since this time last year.

Great performance off the back of a rare defeat. Bit worried at 0-0 before Ollie's rocket and at 2-1 but needn't have been, we were always in control. Kamara MOTM.

Anderson is a very good player, he’s excellent and would be a good signing, so I hope Man Utd do not sign him.

Yeah, but they'll make him look shit.

[Rigadon]

Gibbs -White would do well under Unai.

[Meanwood Villa]

Which number was Anderson? I don't think I noticed him. Gibbs-White always looks good against us.

Probably a true story.

As others have said, a routine win against a very dull and dreary Forest team. God forbid Dyche stays in the PL for long as they were a far cry from the team that rattled us in April.

The first goal changed the game as I think they would have planned to frustrate us for an hour and the. Drive on. Given our total control I was disappointed in a few soppy moments at 2-1 and we occasionally invited pressure needlessly. Slightly disappointed we didn’t completely out them to the sword but I think a lot of that is the way Emery wants to manage games when they come thick and fast.

I was in the Holte Upper and the atmosphere was lethargic. A combination of early kick off, freezing cold and a fair absence of jeopardy I think.

[Jon Crofts]

Their no 5 Murillo, I dont think I've seen a tub of lard like him since Agbonlahor's final season.

[Clampy]

I said to my mate during the game that it was either going to be a penalty or an effort from outside the box for us to score. They just sat back and tried to catch us on the break.

Good win, they were dreadful and they have a silly owner.

[VILLA MOLE]

They didn’t even try and take us on the break that much. . They were great last year

[Matt C]

You look at some of the players Forest have and their league position and it doesn’t quite compute. Then you see them play…

Another professional performance. McGinn will get the headlines (he was very good second half) but Kamara bossed the game from start to finish and great for Ollie to keep his scoring run going. Onto the next one.

One of my in-laws is a Forest fan. In anticipation of how it would turn put, he went to the gym instead of watching the game.

OTD 12 month ago they were 3rd and 8 points ahead of us.

Gibbs -White would do well under Unai.

That timed run and finish was top class
