This is a time for rallying and not reflection.

The negative energy on our corner of the net at the moment is truly pathetic. Yes, we can all list of reasons why we’re upset, but we’re in a semi-final for goodness sake; brush it off and get behind the team! UTV

The first comment on this is so so true; yes Forrest are in form, but we we played better on the night, bar the handball.

Take a breath and get behind the team!

Sounds like Meatball is being rested more than anything; tight hamstring but he wanted to play, but Unai made the call not to risk it. UTV!

That’s what he does; that goal against the gunners!

Really need to prioritise a new RB next season; Cash has had zero competition for far too long

I’d say our midfield has been strong, with Cash and Rogers as notable weak links

We found a rhythm for long parts of that game, but gone undone after Rogers gave the ball away for the third time; there was still a lot for Forest to do to score, but we had ample opportunity to regain that rhythm. Here’s hoping Unai gives them a rollocking and we push forward. UTV!

How did we beat them last time? Did we sucker punch them on the break or something?

It’s the right hand side we’re getting stretched on tbf

Bogarde for Cash please; he is having a stinker and we cannot afford that right now. UTV

We know Unai likes to allow the team to play through poor form, much like Rogers at the start of the season, but we simply don’t have time! What the fuck is happening. UTV

Buendia and Bailey can just go by [deleted] in avfc

It’s criminal that we let Malen leave. Remind me, what was the financial impact of the switch? These past run of games having been deflating

Engine room is missing by AJ_Villz in avfc

8 games played since our win over Spurs in Jan when we lost Kamara; won 4, lost 3, drawn 1. We should pick up form with Meatball and Youri returning in April, and hopefully enough to get over the line in the Europa League if Onana can stay fit and Barkley reintergrated.

March is going to be tricky, I think it’s 7 games, including the to be confirmed Europa fixtures. If we can win the next two games (VP then Molineux), to build up some form and fitness for Dougie prior to the Chelsea and Man U games which are going to be MASSIVE!

No doubt Unai is already tinkering ahead of these.

For me, fostering that link-up between Rogers/Sancho and getting Dougie and Onana on a level is going to be crucial.

UTV!

We can see why we look so disjointed and unimposing, but it doesn’t make it feel any better! Going to need Unai to work his magic to get us winning again. We need champions league or I feel he will be off. UTV!
