Matchday 26 - Aston Villa Vs Nottingham Forest. Saturday 24th February. Kick off 3pm.

Lol. In your face Moussa haters

No one hates Moussa we know he is quality as a centre half.

He's not a left back

 

[Canadian_red]

Set piece coach high five!

We're still going to lose but at least Martinez doesn't get his clean sheet bonus. That prick probably thinks salt Bae is still cool.

 

[derbyshirered]

Get toffolo on and we might give them a game

 

[ozthecoz]

It's too late to change the result but we need 3 changes at half time: Toff, Yates and Omombamidele on; Niakhate, Danilo and Felipe off. At least try something different and make a fight of it.

It's never too late

 

[tomw94]

Were the Brazilians out on a bender last night? All 3 have been horrific.
Worst I’ve seen us play since Fulham away.

Who said take Niakhate off

I was just saying that to my daughter, ironic that the person I said should come off scores. No chance Nuno brings Toffs on now, he'll be presuming Niakhate scores 3...

 

[George cooney]

This was always going to be a tough game, away at Villa, fourth in the league.
And we've made it almost impossible for ourselves by playing a player out of position when we have a perfectly good one sat on the bench.

Im a bit alarmed how sluggish weve been,Weve not matched them at all

 

[Robertson]

That’s huge, I’d still sub him off for Toff

Yeah, while I think it’s a collective failure, Niakhate at left back certainly isn’t helping.

 

[SparrowsAnus]

They still need ripping in to at HT...that was poor.

Don't concede before 60 mins, then throw everything at them,

 

[Alf-engelos Mindminackers]

Time to earn your coin now Nuno.

You've dropped a major, basic bollock today and been too stubborn to address it. but you've 45 minutes to turn the game round and become a hero.

Here's hoping.

 

[PynchonForest]

Wouldn't mind seeing Reyna on for Gibbs-white.

Agreed. MGW is a complete passenger today. For a guy with such a strong work ethic he, at times, seems to be content to sit on the periphery of the game and just watch.

 

[That Grey Red]

Can't believe my stream stopped just before the goal.

Can you say to your daughter to take off Elanga and Awoniyi twice as well, the comeback will be complete!

Don't blame Nuno for the OOP left back although I'd have put Murillo out wide. Not sure Danilo was the right pick in a central midfield two in this one.

But can't really blame the manager when half the eleven look hungover. Players need to accept full responsibility if they repeatedly lose their men on the edge of our box. It's not a tactical fault today it's those individual mistakes again.

 

[Jacquoz]

Hopefully there's a change at HT. you have to be blind to see that Niakhate at LB wasn't working at all.

 

[Mr. Blonde]

It's never over til it's over but hard to see where two goals are coming from

Villa are a decent side, not surprising they've exposed our defensive frailties

But we go again second half, COYR!

 

[Quntib Hollox]

Think it's too late now

Maybe not!!

 

[EmmersonForest4]

Haha moussa scores you couldn’t write. I love Niakhate he’s just not a left back.

 

[Tobias]

Toffolo, Yates and Reyna on for Felipe, Danilo and CHO, please.

 

[DB1702]

Despite the goal I think we need to make changes before the second half. Danilo off for Yates to add some steel. I would put Toff on for either of our centre backs and move Niakhate back to the middle.

If I was Villa I’d be so miffed at that late goal. 3-0, could have been more and it is a walk in the park 2nd half. It probably still will be but at 2 goals up and not taking full advantage of your advantage and thinking Forest can’t play as bad second half a bit of doubt can creep in. I want to see a big reaction and mentality shift straight away from the word go second half.

 

[Mr. Blonde]

Don't blame Nuno for the OOP left back

An OOPS moment, for sure

 

[BryanRoy22]

Why not just switch Murillo to left back and put Niakhate back in the centre?

 

[Col Steve Austin]

Toff on for Felipe and Niahkate to CB please. Maybe Yates for Dominguez too.

Gets my vote

Half-time. My cat is still in his cardboard box, but he is keeping one eye on events.
