Nottingham Forest banter 8

Embarrassing. We all know the players that have to go next season.

07 May 2026 21:49:10
Yes all of Edu's players.

07 May 2026 21:20:07
Awful performance. Get Jesus off now.

07 May 2026 21:29:02
Just horrendous rhr. No pride.

07 May 2026 21:30:30
Unfortunately this is the Forest we don't like...

07 May 2026 21:37:26
Classic Rogie, not an ounce of encouragement. ?

07 May 2026 21:41:00
Second to every ball. Absolute garbage, 75 mins and ain't had a shot.
Just lumping it. Dyche ball 2.

07 May 2026 21:43:44
Absolutely shite. Worst I've seen Forest play.

07 May 2026 21:50:58
We literally bent over after the first ten minutes and let them take us. Absolute garbage. ??

07 May 2026 21:58:50
That was after their second???
Yes, we are capable of that type of performance, unfortunately it just so happened to be tonight.
Thought you would have known the outcome?
As you're "Always right."
Oh no!!!
Is it a bird? No????
Is it a plane? No???
And, as if by magic, your mate appears!!!. ???

07 May 2026 22:18:40
Bit like your mate who disappears when Forest don't turn up, Rogie. Where is Mr Prediction? ? ???

07 May 2026 21:07:46
Oh dear, Forest not turned up or is the ref giving Villa too much respect! Buendia throws himself to the ground and gets free kicks, Forest players getting hit but nothing given! Overrun in midfield, we need Yates on to bolster!
COYR.

07 May 2026 21:21:24
Not turned up. What a load of s****.

07 May 2026 20:56:56
Fellow fans; not good ATM. Jesus, anon, change for MGW.

07 May 2026 20:55:01
Total failure so far. Need to put it right quickly. Dominguez, Jesus, McAtee proving they are not good enough.

07 May 2026 22:07:59
McAtee was the only creative player on the pitch, and he was taken off at half time. I am sorry to say Dick Emery outwitted VP. Probably a match for a 5, 4, 1. On the other hand, no Murillo, Sangare, MGW, poor Tiawo, not even in the squad - whose decision was that? Somehow, A/V almost from the off were all over us.

You just knew, after 10 mins, it was not going to be a good night. A European semi final is a great achievement, it's that we really were never at any stage at the races. Yet, 1 wk ago, we matched them toe to toe. So what happened?

07 May 2026 20:42:28
This is rubbish. We need to make changes before we chuck the game away. No control whatsoever.

07 May 2026 20:39:05
Spoke too soon. Not good enough so far. Need to move up a level. Jesus doing nothing again.

07 May 2026 20:37:33
I would take Morata off before he does anything stupid. Not conceded in 30 minutes, so happy with that. No more unnecessary free kicks. COYR.

07 May 2026 17:50:10
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Manchester United v Liverpool - A Quick Liverpool Perspective

07 May 2026 13:27:23
Just been reading the BBC’s Villa Correspondent. He reckons that Villa have the second oldest squad (in terms of minutes played in the Premier League this season). He also says that they are subject to the law of diminishing returns, much like Nuno with us last season ie running out of steam, having to use 12 or 13 players with top flight credentials, the rest of the squad a long way behind in terms of quality. He also says after the first hours play, they tend to drop off.
Food for thought?
Emery threw the game against Spurs in a desperate bid for their first silverware in 30 years, and thus buying time for him to rebuild next season. Like all great managers he was ruthless in losing a battle to win a war, only bringing on Watkins after an hour of being outplayed then 2 subs on 85 minutes, presumably with the game lost as a sop to the booing fans.


VP had no such choice due to the respective league position but he made his changes for Chelsea in a much more nuanced way, by measuring the minutes.
I have two comments…. Firstly, despite Emery's ridiculous claims that we are favourites tonight (the bookies disagree and they are not usually wrong), Villa have certain advantages (playing at home, extra days recovery and only one key injured player (alledged) Onana), whereas we probably have 4 or 5.
Secondly, the first goal will be vital. If Villa score it, the momentum swings decisively towards them. If we score it, they will have to throw the kitchen sink at us, leaving them increasingly open to our counter attacking style.
Strap yourselves in fellow Reds, it’s going to be a bumpy night…….

07 May 2026 16:02:10
Typical Beeb. I read that article, but on their sports page there is no mention of us, surprise, surprise. You'd be forgiven for thinking Villa are already in the final. ⭐?⭐

07 May 2026 17:24:00
TBH Red Robin, I think it suits us to fly under the radar mate. ??

07 May 2026 18:42:46
Kamara was their best player till he got injured in January. That's their 2 main midfielders out.

When they were flying, they had Tielemans freed up ahead of them, with McGinn and Rogers either side. They haven't hit the same heights since.

07 May 2026 19:25:34
Can't wait to watch this tonight on our last night in Guernsey. Good post, Stokey, but you made my eyes bleed again towards the end.

I prefer to be on a 'rollercoaster ride' with Forest than supporters of certain other clubs who are forever on the 'merry go round'.

07 May 2026 19:42:21
Come on Forest!!!!!
This is Our destiny!!!!!
Let's do this!!!!!!

07 May 2026 20:55:55
This system isn't working....
Wonder if Vito can find a solution?
Villa's tails are up...
Let's wipe that smirk off Watkins' face!!!
COYRS!!!!

07 May 2026 21:03:30
Be nice to see the players turn up in the second half. This is a chance to get into the final of Europe, you donkeys. Terrible.

07 May 2026 21:08:32
Classic, Skeggs...
Not an ounce of encouragement.
