At least we didn't draw! Probably one of our worst performances in a long time.
A pre-match injury to Wood and Awoniyi coming back to fitness didn't help.
The Good: great to see Awoniyi back.
The Bad: our lack of attacking players will continue to cost us goals, especially when we make unforced errors.
The Ugly: Turner...what was he thinking.
Special Mention: Murillo...that might work against other teams, but that was one man too many.
The Last Game (Villa Away - a 2-0 loss):
Navas
Worrall Felipe Niakhate
Williams Kouyate Shelvey Toffolo
MGW Danilo
Johnson
That is a bloody awful midfield pairing!
Team:
Vlachodimos
Aurier Niakhate Boly Aina
Sangare Mangala Dominguez
MGW Elanga
Awoniyi
Subs: Turner, Murillo, Tavares, Toffolo, Williams, Santos, Yates, *Danilo, Osong
We need a striker on the bench! Might as well give Osong a run-out.
Injuries:
Felipe, Montiel, CHO, Origi and Wood.
Laughing @ Derby:
Hennessy, McKenna, Omobamidele, Worrall, Aguilera, Kouyate.
Form:
Forest (H) - W3 D3 L0 GF11 GA8 - 16th
Villa (A) - W2 D2 L2 GF11 GA11 - 5th
* Villa's last league loss was away to Liverpool...losing 3-0.
Prediction:
Villa look very good, scoring 19 goals in their last six games across all competitions.
However, there is a small glimmer of hope...Away from home they have six goals in 5 games in the league. Last scoring more than one goal when they put three past Burnley at the end of August.
Can we keep it tight...will at least Danilo be available to add any attacking intent from the bench?
A 2-1 win to Villa. The new fans calling for Cooper's head on the socials.

Nice touch by players of both sides, consoling the lad playing the last post, really felt for him, but nice to see the players and fans appreciated it.
It’s a big ask of a thirteen year old, but he did well.

It was a nice moment, actually made more lovely by it not being perfect 😊

I think our new Forest team has arrived.. A tactical master class from Steve Cooper and the squad . Many candidates for MOTM, but I’d like to give a mention to Harry Toffolo. Top professional

Well played Forest, we were sh*te but you did a number on us. Diaby and Watkins just couldn't get in the game, and for all our possession we created very little and when we did our shooting was woeful. Biased maybe but I do think a draw would have been fairer, the second goal was a gift and even the first Martinez shouldn't be beaten from there. Bad day at the office for us but not many teams will win at Forest this season so we move on.
Hopefully we can both have good seasons, always liked Forest as a club.
