@loose_tip Getting rid of Dyche and getting Vitor in has been a masterstroke. He’s a top quality tactician and has an excellent team behind him. He’s doing such a superb job it’s hard to say that i’d prefer Marco Silva or Iraola or whoever next season as could they do any better? #nffc

What a job this guy has done 😁!! You can’t help but like him, his positive energy is so infectious on the players and the fans alike 😁😁 #nffc

Dare I say we haven’t missed Murillo since he’s been injured? Cunha initially and then Morato have come in and hardly put a foot wrong. We all know Morato has a rick in him but he’s been excellent recently. Bakwa and McAtee good today too. Vitor has got them all playing. #nffc

@kellsley I’d go as strong as we can. If Netz, Morato and Dominguez have to start due to injuries then I’m fine with that. If they do, hopefully Sangare, Aina and Cunha might be fit for Thursday. Pereira’s belief in the squad has given them belief which is absolutely crucial. #nffc

Surely everyone wants us to go full strength today? #NFFC

@nffc999 That’s why #nffc beating Chelsea today would be absolutely massive. We wouldn’t be mathematically safe on 42 points but would be in a very confident position. Chelsea have had an up and down season and we are playing well so no reason why we can’t go there & get something today.

Bit niave to pressume West Ham don't pick up any points against either Arsenal or Newcastle, it's the Premier League #NFFC

Wonder if Vitor might have found his home at #nffc after a bit of an itinerant managerial career. He seems to have the tactical nous of Nuno and the heart of Cooper - he just ‘gets’ Forest. Wolves fans say he isn’t the best in the transfer market but that won’t he his remit here.

@Chardgrills @therandompundit It’s pretty much guaranteed that Anderson will leaves, probably to City by the sounds of it but surely not before the World Cup as if he excels on that stage, then his price goes up.

@Gratollini @therandompundit There are no teams in trouble this side of June, so no unexpected sales

Sorry it was not live, but at least you can fast forward now through bits that don’t interest you! I cover the financial foundations of the club, last year (23/24) performance, where we are for PSR this year (24/25) and 4 PSR scenarios for next year (25/26) Please share it! #NFFC

@WiggumCharm He celebrated with the players when Wood scored and at full time. Would have been easy for him to down tools as has not been involved a lot but he seems fully invested fair play to the lad. Remains to be seen whether he’s here next season but at least his attitude is right. #nffc

Special mention for James McAtee tonight. Thought he went under the radar tbh. Didn’t put a foot wrong, brilliant contribution… #NFFC

@StanCollymore Two very evenly matched teams. Considering Villa are 5th in the Prem and Forest 5th from bottom, shows that #nffc are definitely in a false position. After all the turmoil of this season, Forest seem to have finally clicked. Better late than never!

Villans and Trickies, your erudite, considered, scathing, flattering, harsh or glowing post match thoughts please? Platform is yours. 👇🏽

The tweak in formation since the 2nd half v Burnley has been a revelation. Villa will be the best team we’ve played since then so will we press them aggressively & put them to the sword like we did Burnley & Sun’d? Maybe we can put 3 or 4 past Villa too - in Vitor we trust! #nffc

@MattDavies_FF Looks like he’s another manager like Warnock who’s suited to the Championship and not quite savvy enough for the Prem.

Good time for a new (interim) manager bounce on Friday? #nffc

@Reggie8jb The players that beat Burnley 4-1 and Sunderland 0-5 can get something at Chelsea. Vitor is an excellent strategic manager - the fact that he was lauding the set-piece coach after the game speaks volumes. We will prepare properly for, analyse and can beat Chelsea. #nffc

we probably need 41 points with our GD. 42 is the 'safe' tally though #nffc

Villa and Chelsea should both beat Spurs at home. Leeds will make life very hard for them too. #NFFC may already have enough points but I think there's more points in the next three for us. Think West Ham lose the next two but will get 4 points from their last 2. Spurs drop.

@bullyphil Put it this way, nobody has been singing ‘what the f*****g hell was that’ after a game for a while. Vitor is light years away from Dyche. He’s pulled the players and supporters together again and now we are getlting last season vibes and results. Long may it continue. #nffc

Whatever happens this season VP has rekindled my passion for the season. Not just upturn in performances/results but unifying the club on & off the pitch. Dyche made it feel like a slog & we were part of a process. Got to the point where I didn’t enjoy it. #nffc

@MattDaviesAdams It would be typical Forest to win all their remaining games, finish 12 or something and win the Europa League. Only thing you can be sure of supporting #nffc is to expect the unexpected.

This season in #NFFC: Brush aside Brentford on opening day Then go 10 without a win including 0-3 defeat at home to Graham Potter’s West Ham Beloved manager talks his way out of the club 1st home European game in 30 years ends with Ange getting “sacked in the morning” chants

@NickGuise1 He will definitely start with those 4 and they will definitely give Villa problems. The GK, defence and MF was never the issue - it was the wingers and lack of Wood - that is no longer a problem. #nffc have gone from looking toothless to looking lethal and long may it continue!

@Gratollini Hopefully take it into villa mate! 🙏

Incredible result last night, but it just highlights how badly we’ve been held back. The mess under Ange & Dyche set us miles back. Crazy to think people really wanted Dyche to stay! Fair play to marinakis he was blasted by the media but vitor was a genius play. #NFFC 🙌

@False_Alarm_ Hope Sangare is OK - apparently he went off as a precaution. Will be worrying if Cunha’s injury keeps him out with Murillo also being injured. If they are both out for any length of time it will have to be Abbott or Morato alongside Milenkovic for the rest of the season. #nffc

If that's Cunha out as well, then I hope Abbott is ready to start some of the up coming games in his 'natural' position. Anything over Morato

@therandompundit @nottmtails @PhilipDawson1 His best work is always done 30 yards away from goal! Holds it up beautifully and has some great touches but we have seen this season that it is not his game to play him up front on his own. Will be interesting to see how we fare on Friday if we start him just behind Wood. #nffc

@Gratollini @nottmtails @PhilipDawson1 Exactly what I have been saying David! Either a duel 10 behind Wood/Taiwo!

Winger Callum Hudson-Odoi set to miss rest of Nottingham Forest season with injury #NFFC nytimes.com/athletic/72124…

@therandompundit @nottmtails @PhilipDawson1 Whether it was by pure luck or judgement, we stumbled upon the way to go yesterday. Have thought for a long time that Jesus isn’t a CF who can play up top alone but more of a forward/no 10 type and yesterday proved that. Playing him off Wood or even Taiwo is the way to go. #nffc

@nottmtails @PhilipDawson1 Very sad but it forces our hand (hopefully) into using our players the best way. Wood up top, Jesus in the 10. Hutch right, and MGW off Jesus and finding pockets.

@theRealEnzoMac Cracking film but worth a watch alone for Val Kilmer - he is superb in it

Not a big cowboy film fan but is tombstone worth a watch ?
