Thoroughly enjoyed being at Villa Park tonight, not even bothered we didn't win as it was such a good match.

We're on the right path now. Should've got rid of Steve Bruce in the summer as the football we're now playing is a breath of fresh air compared to last two years.

What do you think about your keeper Nyland? On the forums Villa fans weren't impressed with him tonight

Really poor. Has little presence, flaps at set pieces and also lets in plenty of preventable shots. Going to be facing a Pulis team on Saturday. :wenger:

Will be replaced in January.

Would you play him on Saturday? I've seen some Villa highlights this season, and as you say, he seems to lack authority and command of his box

You were 2 down in 6 minutes. Forest must be pretty handy.

No but our alternatives are Mark Bunn (played about 3 games in last four years) and a Portugal keeper who played a cup game and hasn't made a squad since.

Tom Heaton was linked the other day, would be very happy with him coming in on loan.

Forest are good. Got a nice bit of experience and flair, solid players like Dawson and Claudio Yacob and also got a few Portugeese players on loan, Joao Carvalho at number 10 played well.

Their best player was Joe Lolley. Scored a cracker from 25 yards and also assisted the other four goals. Would you believe he's a Villa fan from Redditch who used to post on one of the message boards I post on.(Villatalk):lol: He was playing non league four years ago.
 
Good comeback from Norwich to remain top of the league. Derby, Nottingham and Birmingham win as well. They are all in the playoffs zone. Good wins for Blackburn and Hull.. Bolton-Wigan 1-1, Sheffield United-Leeds 0-1 and Reading-Stoke 2-2. Middlesbrough-Aston Villa now.
3-0 Villa FT! Massive away win!

Would love Leeds, Forrest, and Villa to all get promoted. Would make the lower half of the table more interesting.
 
Bristol City draw against Millwall. The Lions are not having a great season after almost reaching the playoffs last season.

Not sure how many games he'll get at Leicester as he plays similar to James Maddison. Probably a premier league loan next season.

Forrest are doing really well - do they have a new manager or something?

They've been a bit like Wolves and got a few decent players in from Portugal, Joao Carvalho and Gil Dias if anyone knows them.

Got a really nice mix in their team, experienced players like Yacob, Dawson and Colback in defensive areas and pace upfront with Joe Lolley and Grabban.

They'll be in the play offs for sure imo.

Has been great last few games, very happy to be proved wrong as I wrote him off after his first few appearances, looked way too lightweight for the championship.
 
The once a match Tammy Abraham open goal miss there.
