It is a concern. Also worries me that we dont beat decent teams. Not top teams, but decent teams. Probably a year since we beat a hopeless man United, unless I'm forgetting some results. Depends on what you mean by decent. The wins against Brighton I’d probably say fall into that bracket, although they seem a bit better this season. The away win at Palace was a good result too. Before anyone says it, that’s not to say beating Leeds away 3-0, or Southampton 4-0 aren’t good results. They are. But I’m not sure Leeds and Saints were decent sides at the time those games were played. But I agree with the general vibe of your post, 18 months ago I was looking at nearly every game as “I fancy us to get the three points here”. Now I’m thinking “Well…Forest should be a win, I guess…”. I think a draw tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brighton was probably our best win under Gerrard so far although perhaps when we play them last March Southampton were higher in the table when we won 4-0. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvonVillain Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Leeds will be well up for this and will have this marked as an opportunity to collect 3 points. A draw is probably the most we can hope for under this miserable regime. Can see the away fans turning if we perform as turgidly as expected.

Villa87 Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 I’d usually be buzzing for the match having not played for a couple of weeks. But **** me Gerrard makes it a challenge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indigo Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 (edited) Behind enemy lines in the home end today. Would appreciate Villa doing something worthy of making me worried about giving my cover away. Not going to happen but I wouldn't mind seeing something like: Martinez Young-(Bednarek or Chambers)-Mings-Augustinsson Dendoncker-Luiz Bailey-Buendia-(Coutinho or Ramsey) Watkins Edited October 2, 2022 by Indigo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwivillan Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Good mate from Leeds I meet up for Saturday drinks regularly is back home and going to the match. Bragging rights always great but I'd take a draw in tough away game 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Tough game up there with the crowd and the way they press . Always found we struggled to play against Leeds under smith . The win up there last season under Gerrard was superb and we totally bossed them . A point isn’t the end of the world. 1.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted October 2, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted October 2, 2022 (edited) I used to look forward to villa games so much. Even under dreary managers like Lambert. I just don’t really care at the moment I’ll watch this but I wouldn’t be surprised if I’ve turned it off before the end Edited October 2, 2022 by Stevo985 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m out for a family meal and usually I’d be checking the score a hundred times if I can’t watch live, but I doubt I’ll bother today until the end. Feel like it’s another loss, hope I’m wrong though, obv (I’m wrong tbh) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chap of Steel Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Agree with the above, feeling pretty indifferent. They seem a much different proposition to the one we beat 3-0 last season… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubliner Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Can't see anything other than a Leeds win. Obviously hope I'm wrong but with Kamara out I fear for us over the next few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 I'm not bothered either way. WIn and it's a positive, lose and we are 1 step closer to getting rid of young Mcleish. A draw is the worst result, it prolongs the pain. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
