Very dirty, scrappy game. Not an amazing performance, but a very comfortable win. 3-1 flattered Forest.

I wrote us off weeks ago, and suddenly we're 2 points off the playoffs. Interesting. 

Honorable mention for Lolley, who's the only Forest player that isn't shit.

The Premier League may as well hand us Premier League status now and get it over with.

Loving that I'm getting to post this so often again

7 minutes of injury time away from home with absolutely no drama..... Nice. 

I'm counting this as another clean sheet.  The goal was a pure fluke.

Great performance. Need to win all our games up to the final two to have half a chance of scraping sixth. But nice that we can talk about it as a very outside chance again!

Lolley is great - would have him at Villa if/when McGinn goes.

Happy birthday Tyrone

We've got McGinn

Happy times are back for now, UTV now time to catch some Zzzzzs

[Rodders]

great win. Boro losing means we're 4 points off 5th with them visiting us on Saturday.  There are two spots in that top 6 up for grabs.

Well done Dean Smith and team.

Fantastic game of football. Brilliant performance from Villa, we dominated the game in large periods and defended very well in others.

McGinn and Grealish ran the midfield. Elmo and Taylor looked assured at full back. Mings and Hause were a class above as always.

Results have gone our way again.

Just to let you all know, Villa's going up!

[El Zen]

Not a very memorable attacking performance, but a terrific result away from home. Very solid at the back, and McGinn stepped up when the rest of the bunch couldn’t quite get it done. 

[OutByEaster?]

That's a brilliant performance, worked hard to a man and Mings/Hause give us a real resilience at the back - they're both big, strong and quick and Mings is a really good leader of a back four. Credit to the two full backs for playing an astute simple game and not trying to do too much. I thought the midfield was outstanding at times including the old fella that came on at the end. McGinn looks like he's missed the game and he's as fresh as a daisy - he was our best player for me. Front three are still a little concerning, El Ghazi is inconsistent but working hard, Abraham isn't quite clicking and Green is working his socks off but not dominant. If they click, we're in.

Picked the right side, made the right subs, played the right way - well done to the manager. This is a really good win.

sums up how shite forest were tonight...offered nothing. but taking nothing away from us, midfield controlled the game. this was our 2nd cup final this week with 1 to go...how the **** are we 4 points of 5th?!! love it!

Mings motm, with McGinn very close second. Come 5pm Saturday we could be in top 6. Frank Lampards Derby are having their annual March collapse. 9 points from 3 tough games, 2 away from home. Looking better

Players who couldn't pass now can because of Grealish. That said, not particularly pretty on this occasion, but certainly clinical, hardworking and resolute, as epitomised by MoM John McGinn. Capped off by yet another commanding performance from Mings. How very pleasing.
