Big game. 3 games in 6 days. Massive week. #nffc

@StanCollymore Tight game. Very little in it but we probably just shaded it. Anderson best player on the pitch by some distance. Only HT & Villa more than capable of overturning. Expect a tough 2nd left which we’ll need to be right at it to get through. Ref was good tonight & let game flow.

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

@CJ93NFFC @annastorey78 Exactly. Difficult not to focus on results around us. BUT. We have points on the board. We are in form. We have togetherness & fight in us. If we win it doesn’t matter what others do but crucially it’s another game down & they are running out quickly now. All about us #nffc

Happy Sunday Reds!! Keep the faith! #NFFC

@5tu_nffc Tbf Dougie did a cracking job under tough circumstances but get your point mate

@bullyphil Mate I’ve never been so disinterested since Dougie was here 🥱 but Vitor has turned it around & seems like a good character - just what they needed

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

Ange gets lots of the blame for this season but in truth he was only part of problem. Nuno fiasco set tone. Dyche shouldn’t have been appointed after 8 games. He’s a last 10 manager when all hope looks lost. VP has not revolutionised us but has instilled belief & optimism #nffc

Dyche may well have kept us up & no doubt his ppg showed that. I was never in doubt we were better than that & was plenty of time to make it a fairly comfortable season. He made us & players believe a struggle was all we could hope for. #nffc

@CallumCastel7 What isn’t accidental & has been valuable for us over last couple of away games is the chaos he brings & gets us up the pitch late on in games.

MGW has to go to the World Cup. 16 goals this season & currently in the form of his life. #nffc

Sangare fabulous 1st half. Provided basis for attacking threat. #nffc

@GaryMarriott007 @Nffc_bailey They’ll sack him before they play us knowing our luck!

@Nffc_bailey Not only have Chelsea lost the last five league games but in thoses games they haven’t scored or kept a clean sheet.

Yeah icl, this Chelsea team is so beatable

@forestmad80 Stick that list on the wall of the changing room before each of those games. “Prove em wrong lads”. Team talk done.

What the flying fuck is this nonsense Sky! Honestly!!! #NFFC

Whatever happens between now & end of the season & beyond. VP has galvanised squad, staff & fans missing since Nuno. A small sign of it at end of the game was him & staff shaking hands & thanking ground staff in front of Trent End. Great leadership #nffc

@Battlemuch4WW @MikeyClarke22 Absolutely. This lad more than anyone is the main reason we’re still in this division. Players like him are rare, particularly at a club like ours in the modern era. Cherish him because when he leaves we won’t be able to replace him like for like.

Morgan has been the heartbeat of the club now for 4 seasons. No one wants to win games more. Sometimes he drags us through matches almost single handed. That spirit rubs off on other players & fans can see what he brings. Rightly earning #NFFC legend status at the city ground.

@Dicso82 @FiSpartacus I felt there was a reluctance to really push hard for the win for fear of losing. Every point is vital especially against top teams. Must win v Burnley & if we do that Villa point looks even better.

@FiSpartacus Yeah it’s weird, I thought we played well as a team… but just feel if a few players were 5-10% better we could have snatched a win! Their team played Thursday and weren’t rested so just hoped we could take advantage of that. You couldn’t tell we were rested!

Seen a lot of digs at players and the usual moans but I think that’s a brilliant point against a team in 4th with heaps of quality off the bench. Also it was well deserved. #nffc

@Dicso82 @fonforest Same story all season, particularly at home.

@fonforest Yep, every time Villa attacked it looked like they knew what they were doing. Every time we did, we looked bereft of ideas!

Villa make it look so easy, we make it look so hard

@nffc999 @fonforest The depth is there to support the 1st team not replace it. Not sure too many teams would be great with almost entire team replaced. Always going to be a bit disjointed. Would have taken a point away even with best 11.

@fonforest Admittedly I had a bit of a moan tonight, but it's a hard watch in terms of the squad players especially given the money we spent. However onto Sunday.

Loads of this player is shit, that player is shit They were sent to do a job collectively, job done Delighted with that

Massive game. #nffc

@BrummieTricky Maybe he unlike Dyche believed in his squad & got the best out of some talented reserve players? The only mistake he made tonight was pulling Milenkovic off. They don’t score if he stays on.

Same manager who was “begging” for our support last week btw, has just done that. A disgrace to the club and to the badge. Chucking in the towel in a R16 European tie? SACK HIM #nffc

@j_lufc_3 @CityGroundShelf Yeah so do we. They’ve dug out some decent points when not expected to.

@bullyphil @CityGroundShelf We do have Burnley at home though and they are atrocious, they’ll finish bottom.

Quite glad we’ve played Wolves twice to be honest. That’s an awkward fixture for West Ham and Leeds.
