Ratings & Reactions: Forest v Villa

[tomav84]

even those that normally look at the positives like max stokes and dan bardell are going in pretty hard on social media. i honestly don't think i've seen the fanbase so united. even in the latter days of bruce

After 9 games under Smith last season we had 10 points. We currently have 9 points from 9 games. Well done NSWE & Stevie G!

Because he was looking for a reason to sack Smith. Now he's looking for a reason not to sack Gerrard.

This is clearly  accurate.

I've never seen so many lateral passes in all my life.

Gerrard calls it the lateral flow.

Keane saying it like it is.

Absolutely attrocious 

The play upto around 18 yards from the opposition goal is not too bad, as soon as it gets ast that it is Non-league level in my view. Completely amatuerish. The end product is literally appaling. 

Watkins once again constantly making the wrong choices or just woeful with his first touch. Coutinho shooting miles over & wide when a good player would have it in the top corner (He does this almost every game). Zero threat from set pieces just dog awful. 

As for McGinns diving header effort & Archers defensive header when he had a chance to score well don't even start me on those.

Sack Gerrard NOW ffs. We are going nowhere. These players are way way better than this.

He's lost the dressing room for sure.

Carragher trying to be kind to his mate.

Predictably dire. No patterns to any of our play. A lack of any sort of goal threat. It’s been the same all season, yet I fear we will have to put up with this for a few more games yet.

It stinks of Neville and ole

We controlled it but had no cutting edge. Decision making in the final third is just off. Players seem to have no confidence. Watkins and Couthino look like they hate football. Ramsey too deep and static. As was McGinn.

On the positive side we were the better team,  have reclaimed at least some defence solidity and Buendia is an interesting player sometimes.

There is no improvement since last season. The manager needs to take responsibility but a lot of our players look disinterested, unhappy and very mentally frail. Negative body language all over the pitch.  

I think the Mings/McGinn captaincy swap has seriously damaged this season. Such a stupid error of judgement and completely unnecessary.

Why wait?

Because they will want to give him a chance to turn it round.

He's going nowhere unless Purslow goes first

[Troglodyte]

Bored of hearing pundits on TV talking about how boring watching Villa is. And they're not wrong, but with these players that shouldn't be the case. 

[Galway Lion]

Relegation battle now unless we get rid now!

Once the away fans start booing them off you're done
