Burton have done well so far.

Going to be a tough ask to stay up but so far they have acquitted themselves well.

The young Clough is probably in his element in this type of situation.

Bendnter is going to the City Ground then Yuppie. He gets a fair bit of stick, but he could turn out to be a good signing.

I had hoped this was a joke to be honest. There have been rumors the last few days.

I really hope we are not paying to much in wages for him, could work as good cover for injuries, but i really wish we had kept Burke and this was not happening.

But he is now a Forest player, so i shall hope he does well and proves what a shrewd signing this is.......

I hope he does better than another Danish player we had. Mikkel Beck on loan many years ago. In fairness to Beck he was a nice chap, I had to do a sports programme at a inner city school in Nottingham that he had to turn up to as a representative of Nottingham Forest. Took a lot of interest on what was happening and had plenty of time to talk to the kids and coaches. Stayed much longer than the hour he was meant to. Seemed like a real good egg.

Not sure Bendtner can be classed in the same bracket.....

Thought we were going to lose again.

Good 3 points in the end coming from behind.

Two former European champions presently battling it out in the Championship.

Forest have taken 3000 fans to Villa and are making all the noise.

Tale of two thunderbolt shots in the last minute.

Forest hit the back of the net and Villa hit the bar.

Forest will be very happy with the point. A lucky point but nice to go our way.

Think the ref needs a long look at himself.

I can't blame the referee at giving that second yellow. It's the laws which are wrong, not the referee's application of them in my view. Same with taking your shirt off - unless you have advertising on underneath (which I understand is the reason why that law first came in), the laws really shouldn't require that a yellow card be issued.

Thanks for everything Pothas. You'll be missed. My nickname for you was apt and I will never forget it. For the last time, arise Sir Nic.

It was quite an entertaining game. The young lad who got sent off showed immaturity beforehand, in the handbags at dawn shenanigans, and should have no complaints at the sending off. Thought Villa were the better side.
