Fans all say the same thing as Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa play out bore draw to remain in relegation trouble
MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL fans were all saying the same thing after watching Nottingham Forest’s draw with Aston Villa.
Emmanuel Dennis gave the hosts the dream start after quarter of an hour as he headed home Morgan Gibbs-White’s free-kick.
But a rocket from Ashley Young just seven minutes later from 25 yards levelled the scores.
Despite the exciting start, the match soon dipped and eventually ended with Forest being held by Villa to a 1-1 draw.
And those that tuned into Sky Sports to watch the action were soon taking to Twitter afterwards to slam the quality that they had seen.

Jesse Lingard reveals ‘love’ shown to him by Nottingham Forest owners convinced him to make sensational Man Utd transfer

In the end though Lingard ended up joining newly-promoted Nottingham Forest, revealing he couldn’t say no.
In an interview with BBC Radio 5 Live, he said: “I could have gone abroad for a lot of money but I want to stay in the Premier League.
“They (Forest) wanted to come to my house and bring me to London in quick succession to try to get the deal done.
“The manager and owners have been great with me – they’ve shown the love and intent to get me to the club.”

Reports have indicated the 32-cap England international’s contract at the City Ground has smashed the club’s wage structure, with him earning TRIPLE the next highest earner.
“When I see that sort of love, of course I am going to say yes, but it had to be the right deal for me and my family,” Lingard added.
“I can see the project they’re building and it’s going to look good this season. I feel a positive vibe around the camp.”
Lingard has joined former Man Utd team-mate Dean Henderson at Forest, though Henderson was critical of The Red Devils for “wasting” 12 months of his career as he sat on the bench behind David de Gea.
