aston villa 5 v 5 nottingham forest

What a game!  I don't think I will ever see another match with ten goals where the home team score five, but failed to win, whilst the away team also score five but failed to win.

Definitely not one for the respective defensive coaches. 

Tammy Abraham contributes four, Anwar El Ghazi scores our fifth and goes on to have two goals disallowed in the last three minutes of normal time.  Our defence is lamentable, the poor goal-keeper fails again under pressure but we show such spirit in coming from behind, time after time.

In retrospect it looks like two points dropped. We really should have hung onto a 5 v 4 lead against a ten man Forest, but it was not to be. A truly extraordinary night at Villa Park!

Walk Tall

 Dear Sheddists,

our latest outing to Villa Park sees us squander yet another lead late in the second half, this time against Nottingham Forest.  Yes, we dominated play for virtually the entire match, and yet we came away with but a solitary point.

For all the attacking flair shown by the plucky boys in claret and blue, there was one star who shone out on the pitch. A young man with a prosthetic leg who gamely led out the mascots with a huge smile on his face.

Good on you!

Yours as ever,
