Ratings and Reactions: Nottm Forest v Villa

[Nigel]

Kodjia was as much to blame tonight as Grealish or Johnstone.  

Hes got quality all around him yet he wont use it.  How are we to set up attacks if he just refuses to let it go.

Shots from 40 yards...whats that all about?  It was like he wanted his own highlights tape from this game.

Its lucky he scored to mask that performance!

 

[Daniel]

Disbelief, i don't know what to say anymore. We have changed managers, owners and players and still we get this shit wrong. Might start watching another sport that doesn't boil my piss, something like bowls.  **** it

But if you are just going to play over the top, how can Grealish actually do his job? 

It's never Grealish, It's always something or someone else's fault. Lightweight, no impact waster

[Phumfeinz]

Scared, is the word that comes to mind for our away tactics.

[ferguson1]

Taking both forwards off and invite pressure was a strange one from Bruce? No out ball and then no real chance of snatching a win.  I'm frustrated, angry and disappointed.  

[Jas10]

I've had it, really had it. Been patient enough with Bruce. Not a single sign of improvement or hope. Season is over, let's just not get relegated!!!

Sick of all the changes but what else can we do? Get a manager who works well with his players, can actually coach & has a distinctive playing and training style and give the club some kind of identity and philosophy before it is too late...

First time I've said this but it's time now. Been patient enough...

I'd rather have either a) a relatively successful foreign coach (like Watford have been successful with e.g. Flores) or b). Just get together a team of ex players who care for and have passion for the club with some coaching skills (a la John Gregory) to give us a base, identity and the right motivation.

I am sick and tired of this down in the doldrums shit! Sick of being let down and continually suffer through this shit. What the hell have we become???

What do we have to do to turn this round, we change the owner, we change the manager, we spend money, we get new players, we change the manager, we spend money and we get new players.

Yet we are still utter horse crap. How many more years can we take of this dross, 6 years of a spiral of poor performances. It seems every single team is out passing us, outfighting us, outplaying us. 

I am completely out of ideas and hope that we are ever going to see us be successful and play decent football again!

Painful and hopeless.

Appoint a decent manager. Something Lerner and Xia have failed to do ever!

[Farlz]

I hate this football club. Bruce frustrates me more and more every week. 

[Demitri_C]

Shit goal keeper

shit negative manager

shit greasy little turd who thinks he is the best thing out of the country but really he just a parasite

everything about the club is pure shit

id say supporting villa is linked to giving you high blood pressure

im done this season with this losers

[dounavilla]

Don't worry everyone . The next game is at home and not on sky.

[Upper north stander]

I could cry

[Frobisher]

Bruce, please realise you have one of the best teams in the league. Stop paying so much respect to inferior opposition and go at teams. When we did go forward we looked decent. Bunn has to have the shirt for the rest of the season, as much as I don't rate him.

Awful substitutions. Without a centre forward the ball will simply be coming straight back. This invited constant pressure at the end. 

[Villastine]

Bruce's changes totally destabilised us.  

Should have been never lost that game. 

Not sure what to think anymore.  

We go again???????? 

[Harry]

We should have flogged Grealish in the window. So overrated it's untrue and now proving to be a complete liability in games.

[rbcuk]

Same shit different week

[screwdriver]

we dont work hard enough. We don't press or harry. We need to up the work rate when we don't have the ball. It's not like they don't have the facilities.

However turgid Bruce football may have been at previous clubs he has four promotions on his CV. Villa just seem too big of a club to tame or get right, the pressure just gets to every single one of them and they panic and turn to mush. 

Tactics are important and he has made a number of mistakes, but the players also turn to mush.

Conor Hourihane has been one of the players of the season by all accounts in the championship so far, played two games and looked like a lost sheep.

We are poisonous!

[reykjavik]

Look at the bright sight of life.  Grealish is off in next game.

[Jimzk5]

once again the oppositions tactics of passing the football rather than hoofing the ball to no one means we look useless.

after spending money on a midfield including the best players in this league, we still play hoof to no one.

 we certainly ain't going up. Every team in this league plays better football than us. The fact aforrest side in turmoil just beat us, we're in a relegation fight. Again.
