Ratings & Reactions: Nottm Forest v Villa

[markavfc40]

We were lacklustre first half but dominated the second half and I never felt we would concede.

Manager got the tactics spot on and made a good call in bringing on Bjarnason when Whelan got injured.

Onwards and upwards. Roll on next week.

Good win. Hoping same again next week and for Derby to stop winning.  We are back in the mix and arguably there is still more to come with this squad of players. Bubbling up nicely.

Another decent result.

[Jareth]

Nervous at end but scored one, hit the bar and had one disallowed - they were comfortable in the win. 

[maqroll]

Woot, nice one! More wins please

Jack is looking a lot more purposeful and dangerous a these last few games. Most pleasing. Didn't Steve Bruce say something about building his team around him?

He is without a shadow of a doubt our best natural footballer.

They had actually been stuttering a bit before today’s game. Our misfortune today was they were only facing SHA. 

Luckily they are playing Bristol City next so the result is positive for us whatever it is.

New manager bounce - nope. 

Sky hoodoo - nope. 

Can't play away - nope. 

Really good to be putting these all to bed now. We're turning into an effective side (for the championship). Keep it up.

+ Can’t score from open play- nope

+ Hogan a £15m flop - nope

Never in trouble, felt the energy that thor gave us in a cdm  role made a massive difference. Tackling instead of trying to intercept. Forest are not a bad team. 

[The Fun Factory]

Are we better without Onomah or is its just coincidence in the last few games? 

[BigAl]

We are starting to get there if hogan starts scoring regularly we will go up

Onomah is not ready for the Championship let alone the premier league. He's a useful squad player, but miles behind Grealish and Green and not far ahead of O'Hare in my opinion.

Really great away win to pull out at a great time as we should beat Barnsley at next week at home. 

[Vincenzo]

Another good result today

Was impressed with our shape and play, we are more positive

Not perfect but when we had the ball we looked more direct

Not sure what has changed exactly but we are playing more as a team

Thor made a big difference when he came on for the lumbering Whelan, whose main contribution was to give away another dangerous free kick which could easily have resulted in us conceding a goal.

Grealish is really progressing isn't he? 

Voted Snograss for MOTM for his quality delivery and work rate.

I thought Hutton had a quiet game, he's usually much more action packed.

Good win. Job done.

Maybe it's Whelan we should be looking to ship out instead?

Great win and starting Terry was the right choice.

Snodgrass was outstanding!

Was a scrappy win and Terry did well to be fair and I stand corrected on the issues of starting him.

 ..and he nearly scored and no sign of any ankle trouble either I noticed?

Shows the integrity of the man to get back and carry on where he left off.
