Forest fan in peace.
Enjoyed the game yesterday ( obviously! ) and thought a draw would have been fair result .
Looks like you have a dodgy a goalkeeper as us with the only difference being when ours dropped the ball twice he was luckier than yours.
Get used to Laansbury because we've seen it for years. He frustrates the hell out of you because he can be a match winner then goes awol for few games.
Always enjoyed coming to yours and always been well recieved.
We both belong back in the Prem but think you will see it long before us.
Good luck to you and hopefully one day soon.
Ps Hammer the sheep for us on the 25th.

Hi Creeps, thanks for that but I thought you deserved the win mate, Forrest played very well.
I agree about the keeper though, costly mistakes.
05 Feb 2017 11:44:17
Most our the blame for our defeat lies at Steve Bruce,
I can understand bree as our right wing back but iceman at left wing back was amazing,
Was was amavi not used there or even adomah!
We played more like a 5-3-2 formation,
Happy enough with kodia and hogan b7t why take both off when we needed a win badly.
Bruce for me is to negative in his tactics, I did not want him as manager but I always give every manager a chance and if these performances carry on like this to end of season I hope there is a change.
Only problem there is who next? Wonder what the dr is thinking right now!
05 Feb 2017 17:31:16
Who's next? Bruce will be in charge next year.
05 Feb 2017 18:29:18
Mainbob I think you need to have a little word with yourself
Steve Bruce is negative in his tactics? Have you actually thought prior to writing 💩
We have just brought in January .
Two of the highest assist providers in our division in hourihane and Lansbury
We have also got hogan who has scored 14 goals this season and is 5th highest scorer In the league having not played since December!
So prey do tell if buying all these attacking players is negative then I'm slightly confused.
05 Feb 2017 10:32:55
What is it about Calderwood, why is he getting the blame?
05 Feb 2017 10:27:02
It is not only at the back where we fail. The front players lack fight. Kodjia scores but is he in reality a show pony that looks the goods but has no fight.
Hogan showed more desire than Kodjia and will be an asset to the team, he plays like a workhorse. The team in its entirety are an embarrassment to themselves, the manager, the club and us the supporters.
Many years ago I remember my Dad along with many others walking out of VP at half time against Chelsea because the players were not giving 100%, sounds familiar.

Having had time to reflect, under Rdm we was a side playing brilliant but not getting results now we are a side playing poorly and not getting results. We had complaints from golini who has since gone on loan about training we have had Ross McCormack, not even show up to training and Jack Grelish showing indiscipline on the field. People don't mind playing borring if you getting results but we are playing borring with no results! Iam sick of Villa losing everyweek its already been proved the mad dr. tony won't put up with it. We needed a experienced gk bruce failed to bring 1 in now teams can shoot from anywhere an his gk will mess up. And yesturday grelish should been subbed off long b4 the red card he was awful 2nd half. Facts are if Bruce does not get results soon the mad dr. tony will sack him as we could get sucked into a relegation fight! want to argue look at the league check past 8 games!
05 Feb 2017 10:21:07
What sack him and then start all over again with a new manager? Buy more players that the new manager wants? Take more time to get a system and start geling
It's obvious your not a Bruce fan, questionable if you like Dr T, maybe you need to find a new club?
05 Feb 2017 10:22:24
Unlucky mate owners already put on twitter his sticking with Bruce and giving him next season.
05 Feb 2017 10:51:48
Thats what he said about RDM 3 games later sacked if you remember! What is it you like about Bruce is it his sexy football or his abilty to get results? Or maybe its his Birmingham City connections? If iam wrong an his great why we got relegation form. I love the chairman by the way he deserves better his spent a fortune on this club he deserves to go up! All Bruce keeps saying is sorry sorry.
05 Feb 2017 11:08:16
Just for the record was it Bruce's fault Johnston couldn't hold a ball that bounced on him the very last second? Was it Bruce's fault that average Jack got sent off? In my opinion it's a no to both of these
05 Feb 2017 11:57:10
Can't wait to remind all these so called villa fans banging on about sacking Bruce that when we go up as champions next season they will all be praising him as the greatest thing since sliced bread. Personally I wouldn't want to go up this season, as we will be no where near ready or good enough for the prem. rather just try and get a winning mentality at the club for the rest of the season then go into next year on a real high and take the league by storm and go up as deserving champions.
05 Feb 2017 11:52:56
Just fans like you who think repeating the same thing over and over will get you anything other than the same result. You was calling for Bruce's head before he was even appointed which tells me irrelevant of the football your here to moan. And come on, Xia said he wasn't going to sack RDM - I think that's what we call "fake news" or just plane lying.
05 Feb 2017 12:05:05
I think Bruce will make us a good solid team that will be hard to beat, he has a track record of getting out of this league
To do that he must be given time to build it rather than shot down, yeah he doesn't play sexy football but who would you suggest we get to come in and work wonders from day one?
05 Feb 2017 14:49:32
3 wins in last 35 away games?
Says it all do you think!
05 Feb 2017 15:19:03
And just how many of those was with other managers mainbob moaner?
05 Feb 2017 09:00:29
We may have all the chances, the fact, we never looked like winning or wanted to win.
Dr T has stated we are planning for next season in the Championship, so that's the plan.
Can anyone tell me, have we won, since Colin Calderwood arrived?
Just thinking too many Bluenoses!
05 Feb 2017 08:48:19
Didn't get to watch the match (due to promising the wife a day out) but from what I've seen the 3-5-2 could be promising
Hogan looked good, I think the system will work well with jedinak in the midfield giving that defensive element and allowing other the freedom to get forward
And just a thought, maybe Micah Richards back in the defence instead of elphick?, I know his positioning and decision making is poor however as a three this could be covered better and maybe work well? He does have some good attributes like his speed and power plus heading is good. just a thought.
04 Feb 2017 23:30:26
its shocking that as a "top class manager" bruce couldn't see we needed that leader/ fighter in defence and that we really needed a keeper of experience/ quality. yet everyone who knows nought about footy other from what we watch could see this from beginning of the season.
05 Feb 2017 01:12:44
Better than brentford game. But poor timing on subs yet again. Grealish can be a nightmare at times he needs to be managed with a firm hand. Kodjia is too selfish i reckon drop the pair of them for a few games make the team rely on each other not just those 2.
05 Feb 2017 09:55:15
Strikes, you're 100% right about needing a leader, but who in our squad can take up the challenge? and as for grealish, i'd make him a ball boy for 2 home games so he could hear what the fans really think of him and his abilities, he'd smell the coffee then!
05 Feb 2017 10:19:55
How do we know he didn't go for a defender? Wyness said we had approached over 20 targets.
05 Feb 2017 10:45:45
might have approached but surely even in this league we could have drew the attention of a decent player even if just a loan
but as we all say that's just my view.
