Second half to be proud of. Well done lads now lets beat them in the FA cup final!

Frustrating we didn't have a striker or RB as it feels like we'd have not lost.
RE: Aston Villa - Nottingham Forest - Shawoddyred - 05-04-2025
What a shame! Bonkers game of football. Nuno really needs to stop a 5 at the back, we're so much better as a 4.
In the end, very disappointed not to get what would have been an excellent point, but after 25 minutes I thought we were going to get seriously humped so in a way it's pleasing especially given the players we have out.
Big game next week. Hopefully we've got a striker for that one!

Totally agree with the 5 at the back comment. Morato doesn't fill me with confidence

Always a tough game and we showed second half that we can take a game to anyone. Similar to Newcastle game in that we had a dodgy 15 minute spell and ultimately had to play catch up.
Hopefully elanga is okay and we will have wood back next week

Frustrating, should have won if we d had our shooting boots on, onwards and upwards
RE: Aston Villa - Nottingham Forest - Shawoddyred - 05-04-2025
It might prove very important that we didn't lose badly... they are now 6 points behind but our goal difference is 14 better.... that is worth another point. So they need to collect 7 more points than us over the next 7 games....... I'm confident!
RE: Aston Villa - Nottingham Forest - pennhillred - 05-04-2025
We didn’t deserve to lose that. How many times though, when we have a bad day, do we concede more than 1 in quick succession and it kills us?
If only we’d been more clinical with our chances. We genuinely could have had 5 today.
Gutted. Absolutely gutted. Great second half but such a shame about the first half.
RE: Aston Villa - Nottingham Forest - Salvatore Matrecano - 05-04-2025
Despite the 2nd half, truthfully the side who had the better chances won the game.
However very pleased we didn’t capitulate when we could have done so and had a proper go against a very good team without a number of our key players.
That was probably our hardest remaining game on paper. On to the next.

Given the volume of wasteful finishing, I'm pretty annoyed we didn't get anything from today. A game I didn't expect to get anything from but we should have in the end.
Nuno does frustrate me with the back 5 which was stupid given the fact we were already disrupting the back line due to forced injury. Another thing that is linked is the lack of belief outside of his trusted players. There's nothing wrong with giving someone a chance and going like for like rather than moving our best players from their best positions.
Jota for big T and Toff for Aina. We know we don't want these guys starting every week, but surely the other players play better in their best positions and a consistent system.
Either way we came back strong and hopefully after a full week we can get a win against Everton. What a difference a year makes with our expectations.
Pray for Wood and Aina.
Long season small squad.

On to a welcome.week off! Rest up Chris Wood (and Elanga and Aina and Taiwo)

Lets not forget that Matty Selz yet again kept the score down with 3 wonderful saves!
The second half performance was a thoroughly enjoyable 50 minutes of football. If only Murillos effort had been a couple of inches lower.
On a positive note, we have Moreno back for next week, so there should be no reason for Nuno to go 5 at the back again
