Aston Villa v Forest Match Thread

Finish it off Villa. I can't be doing with penalties. I'd go and vote instead.

Yep I am desperate for 2 more Villa goals early in the second half (well actually how about 5).

Forest likely to change things at the break. McGinn and Buendia have caused a lot of damage stepping into the middle. Need more from Rogers but he's working hard to get into it. Torres and Tielemans have been excellent too.

Tielemans' radar has gone a bit wonky, his delivery has been off lately. Other than that, though, top notch.

Superb first half, hope we keep it up.

European refs are afraid to add on lots of injury time even when warranted. That should have been 8 mins between the Watkins injury, goal and all their fuckin time-wasting.

Respect to the fans for that atmosphere.

It sounds incredible. Well done boys and girls.

..everyone singing in all stands, a wall of noise. Good job I didn't bother with the hearing aid tonight

What a brilliant half, we've been excellent, unrecognisable from the team that played Spurs.  Pressing, effort, running off the ball, tracking, tackling - it's all been top, top class.

My only concern is that we've only scored one while being on top.  They will have a period of ball themselves, so we need to get the second sooner rather than later. I also worry about the intensity, and whether we can keep that up for 90, and potentially 120 minutes.

But so far, it's been immense.  A Spurs supporting mate of mine texted me half an hour in to say, "Thank fuck this lot didn't turn up on Sunday!".

See if Forest change tactics. We need to be ready to do the same.

Villa in total control

Id have swapped the girlfriend for 1 0 half time , so happy .   Keep  it up villa now and theres a few more goals .. Buendia has been Messi , most have been great , need more from Rogers but Im sure he will be gagging for  a goal now.



well done Villa

With any luck that was our bad half ...Forest are there for the taking.

Oh I do hope so!  Atmosphere here in the Lower Holte has been immense.
