It looked soft but then he wasn't moving. Saying that, if he was really out or immobile then surely concussion protocols should have kicked in and he should have been in the dressing room being seen by a doctor?

Anyone worked out how much Steve Bruce has earned simply from his payouts after being sacked?
Less than Big Sam and definitely less than Jose. Nice work if you can get it

Saw he was on a challenge with Allison and VVD towards the end and looked ok. Any chance he made a meal of it because if he was hit that bad and out of it then he is off straight away - that doesn’t change the fact that Tsimikas is very lucky to stay on

They did show Jesus shoving VVD inthe back as Allison came for the ball.
All crashed into each other then crying for a penalty.

He is prone to it but dont think so in this case, especially when you see the reaction of players like VVD who looked genuinely concerned for him instantly

Not sure what the most bizarre decision of the weekend was, the referees really do excel at giving us lots of options. Maybe it goes to giving West Ham a penalty, after West Ham's Craig Dawson effectively performed a WWE / rugby move by wiping out Pereira in the box. Yes, I know the ref had to warn Pereira a couple of times before he allowed the corner. But, if that ever happens again, the striker simply needs to try and wipe the defender out, and the ref will give the decision to the striker.
Refs should never have to warn players anyway. Just let them get on with it, and if there is a foul, give a foul.

Yes I thought Pereria just stood his ground .
Dawson just runs into him.
Shocking decision Dawson just looking for it.

One of the worst games I've seen. Ashley Young's goal might have saved it from being the worst of all time

was a tough watch for the neutral
2 teams, seemingly low on confidence and lacking any sort of coherence....perhaps understandable from Forest's point of view given the fact they seem to have bought two new teams in the transfer window, but not Villa. Stevie G needs to start earning his money now methinks, looking at Villas run of games coming up.

The little knob has the touch of an elephant and seems to think he doesn’t have 9 team mates to help him. So frustrating. ?
Terrible to watch but plenty of positives from a Forest perspective. We looked much more organised and difficult to breakdown than we have the last 4 weeks. Once we find the right personnel, that formation will do us wonders.
As you say, lack of cohesion, so hopefully time will improve that to give us some more consistency in the final 3rd.
Most importantly; we stopped the rot and back Off the bottom of the table. That will help the confidence and hopefully can setup in a similar way against 3-goals-wolves and steal something at the weekend.

T'was not an easy watch last night. At least the defence looked a little more organised than last week. Admittedly that's not saying a lot as Villa never really posed much threat.
The one who is starting to try my patience is Henderson. Someone should perhaps have a word that it may be worth trying kick the ball upfield to a player rather than just booting it wildly into touch by the halfway line. If he did it once last night, he did it a dozen times.

We are so bad atm
Forest were the worst side I've seen in ages and we still cant score more than 1!
Pathetic defending for their goal.
Need some creativity and we need it fast
