Nottingham Forest v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[PaulWinch again]

I’m a bit concerned that we’ve lost sight a bit of the fact it’s not all about control. Against Fulham and Forest we’ve allowed to win the games through doing very little.

We need to actually try and win games.

[SamTheMouse]

We were doing more or less OK until Onana went off. He was making loads of interceptions with his telescopic legs.

After that, we just sort of scrapped our way to the end without creating a single chance.

Play like that again next week and it'll be curtains.

[BoVillan esq]

1-0 down 0-0 whatever, Forest have the advantage but that is all they have, it was always the case that on this kind of result we would need 2 goals or more at Villa, I'm actually more confident we can win this now, than at the start of the game tonight.

We have only one way to play now and that's going forward. Forest have a lot to think about, that's not the way they play, they are not a considered side.

No problem.

Would add to this, we need to beat Spurs at the weekend at all costs.

[dutchvilla]

The result's not a catastrophe but that was pretty terrible. No pace, no urgency and the number of times a Villa player miscontrolled the ball or dawdled and gave it away was shocking.

We were shit, don't care how Forest played

[OzVilla]

Both teams created nothing, bit of a turgid game and they’ve got to come to a rocking VP. I’m confident we’ll do these.

It all feels very Old Trafford from the last game of last season. No bollocks in this team in the big moments and big games.

Forest were very ordinary and we showed them far too much respect.

Dog shit

Forest strangled the game after the penalty and they'll see it out next week. We've fucked yet another semi final

[Ger Regan]

I refuse to accept that elliot wouldn't have been a better option than either buendia or sancho

[Goldenballs]

Pretty shit tbh.

[CT Villan]

Another weak ref at VP and we will likely be out. I am taking a big dislike to Forest and their dirty, cheating gamesmanship, very Leeds-like.

We played for the draw and lost. Buendia and Digne were very poor, SJM and Tielemans were very quiet and poor Onana injured again.

[Cropley10]

Well, we have another chance to redeem ourselves  and prove we aren’t bottling another big moment again, but we had nothing up front tonight.

[Mellin]

People losing their minds when there's a second leg at home. Look at the teams we've beaten at home in Europe over the last three years. We're still in the tie which is what you need in Europe. Goid teams are still in the tie when the lose by 2/3 more often than not.

[Halfway to Moseley]

Would be very different if Anderson had been correctly sent off - he’d be suspended for the second leg too.

Clattered Watkins with his studs up - it’s irrelevant that his calf touched the ball on the follow through. Crazy decision.

[Rigadon]

Anderson should be out of the game and second leg.  Ref was a ******.

See you lot in a week, you absolute ******.
