Crimson Cardigan

There’s a level of hatred here that is genuinely unsettling.

Can’t find anything in the Athletic about a loan move for Grealish. Probably just someone hypothesising about what Grealish would have to do to resurrect his career as opposed to an actual link. Vardy at 39 would be absurd. And not in a good way.

Little about him? He’s got 12 goals in an absolutely useless team. Not every centre forward needs “trickery and guile” we have that in Isak, might be nice to have a different kind of weapon in the squad no? He’d be a great option for 30 million but he will probably go elsewhere.

Game should suit Isak, should be much more space in behind and on the break than in recent matches. The groin issue is the thing I guess.

Still think Man U hold Villa on the final day. They never win there and Amorim can’t just keep losing every single game.

Really? They were rubbish against Bournemouth at home to name one.

Nah he’s injured, minor one.

Don’t hate that

I think the stress is really getting to people.

I both like the current crest and have no issue with it being modified in a tasteful, clever way. I actually enjoy a lot of bold, modern design (wolves was excellent) but this feels like it’s going to be very minimal indeed, so hopefully everyone can be equally unhappy with the result.

Agreed. Can’t believe we’re still having this debate tbh. And 40million? For that level of goal involvement? Get out of here!

That is a disgraceful effort from Bilbao over two legs. To concede 7 goals To one of the premier leagues most toothless sides takes some doing.

I mean it hasnt worked out for him here but It’s a hell of a reach to suggest Lloyd Kelly single handedly lost us a game where the scoreline was 2 nil to the opposition. is his goal saving block against Chelsea the reason we won the Carabao cup?

Quite. The amount of shit Shola gets every time one of our kids doesn’t tear it up on loan…could it be that Kuol et al, are just, y'know, not very good?

But is it not the case that the Italian press are claiming that but from ourside it’s done regardless?

Will take that. Anderson was absolutely everywhere.

Well being minus 10 points at the start of the season by keeping him would have been worse I guess.

Not sure if you’ve seen Arsenal lately, but they remain as beatable as ever for us. Chelsea have not been good today either. Just get into them.

Fans need to put the work in. Go to bed early and get the cans in early Sunday. There is no excuse for a lacklustre atmosphere for such a critical game.

Would have to see it again but it looked like an excellent save.

Thought “completely finished” Wilson was bright and a bit unlucky not to score. May still have a part to play yet.

Saw that. Some of these pundits cannot handle the idea we are actually competing

It could play out differently though. Palace will want to continue their momentum (the cup final is a way off yet). You don’t want to be going into a final off the back of bad results. We beat West Ham going into the Carabao cup and I think that was huge compared to our poor form going into the Man U final. forest were really bad against Brentford and Everton. Also, at least with Man U, Amorim can’t just keep losing games indefinitely. They also have the benefit of having an opposition player sent off against them every week and Villa never, ever, ever win at Old Trafford regardless of the circumstances. So I can see a world where Villa and Forest drop a good few more points yet. that said, probably just best focus on doing the biz against Brighton.

To be fair to Howe there was barely a question about the actual game. It devolved into “Eddie please say Isak is for sale/not for sale and that Longstaff’s Newcastle career is over” so I can have my national/regional headline.

Away to Palace is not an easy fixture and certainly not for a Forest side low on confidence, low on energy and getting beaten regularly of late.
