Ratings & Reactions: Villa v Nottm Forest

[Villa87]

Get in!! That should have been 4 or 5-0. Phenomenal first half. Tielemans, Bailey and Watkins outstanding but I have McGinn motm. Thought he was excellent.

Harry Maguire makes the best faces after conceeding a goal. Amazing result to finish off a great morning. Until Konsa gets back our games will always end up being a goal fest. Thank God we have one of the best strikers in world football leading the line.

Still think our season is over???

Job done and pretty good for the most part.  Conceding the two goals at pretty awful times was a pain in the arse but Emery doesn't do panic and I felt pretty comfortable for the last half hour.  Chambers did a decent job considering we all thought he was on the scrapheap.  Let's hope Pau's not hurt and/or Ezri is back soon.

Played great first half, and a good result.

Seems we can't defend and can barely attack without Pau. I hope he's not injured. 

Great results elsewhere too!

Made that harder than it should've been but a solid two goal win at the end of the day.

Blatant fishing for KW!!!

Oh my gosh, dreamland. We win,  ManUnited lose. How good does it have to get?

Ipswich Town 3-1 Birmingham City.

I'm rattled mate.

Folks will be disappointed because we conceded twice. But we played half of that game with our 5th & 6th center backs.

In the first half we played them off the park.

injured:

Mings, Konsa, Diego, Pau. Unbelievable that we still play so well. Unai is a mastermind.

[TheMightyVillans]

Thought we actually did alright at calming the game down after it went 3-2. We looked like conceding at every set piece but also looked like scoring every time we went forward. Hopefully Pau was a precaution. If he is out for another few weeks then its going to be extremely tough few weeks ahead.

You have to love the football gods, Manure get lucky against us with a late goal, we beat Fulham and the following week they go and roll Manure in their own house. Manure score a goal with 90 seconds before extra time, they get Fergie time and Fulham get a second after being under the cosh. UTV.

Fantastic first half apart from that goal they got the first time they had the ball in 50 minutes. Got a bit worried by the timing of that goal, got a lot more worried when I saw Pau was subbed at ht. Got a whole lot more worried when they got another goal right at the start of the second half.

Really impressed we managed to calm down their momentum and ride out the storm. After we got the 4th we were in almost total control. A lot of teams would have buckled in such a game where the opponents gets a huge boost despite being outclassed. We didn't.

Main thing is we got 3 points and hopefully the Pau situation is nothing serious. Hardly noticed Chambers which is a big compliment to him.

I thought they all played really well today apart from maybe Moreno and Pau that both seemed a bit off it. 
 

This team has a lot of ability but on top of that a lot of heart and character too. Love them.

Ipswich beating SHA?

A really good performance and much needed win, that’s two in a row and we’re starting to play like we were earlier in the season. Which is extra impressive given the players we have out. 

Voted Bailey for MOTM, he was excellent again, but could have given it to McGinn, Watkins or even Dougie. 

We nearly let Forest back in with sloppy mistakes at the back but battled to regain control and the fourth goal effectively killed it. Really good game, and even better with redscum losing. 

[sharkyvilla]

**** me I just realised Iwobi scored the winner

[andym]

Would have been a travesty if Forest got anything out of that given they only caused us any trouble for 5 minutes either side of HT.

I thought after their 2nd we actually wrestled back control pretty quickly, and looked the more dangerous side for the rest of the match. 

Some of our attacking play was brilliant

[EvilChameleon]

Was worried for a moment there when goals 1 and 2 came across with somewhat ease for Forest, but then we scored our 4th and it was all smooth sailing from there.

97th minute as well, taste of their own medicine there. Lovely stuff. 

[AVTuco]

Brilliant aside from 5 minutes around half-time.

But... we cannot go on with Chambers/Lenglet and expect to keep winning.
