nottm forest vs ipswich town


We asked for your views on Aston Villa's performance against Cardiff City, as Unai Emery's side sealed their spot in the FA Cup quarterfinals.

Aston Villa 2-0 Cardiff City - the fans' verdict


Rob: A solid and professional performance.  There were some hints of fantastic play - Asensio's ball control is just sublime - but, while a strong team was played, we were clearly keeping some energy

 back for the Brugge game.  Cardiff's Ethan Horvath had a fantastic night in goal and deservedly won man of the match.  Overall I'm pleased with the result and where we are in the season, especially when I think where Villa were before Emery came in.  Every season is a building block - and there will be peaks and troughs.


Nick: A solid performance.  I'm glad we went strong, as this competition at least provides the opportunity to go to Wembley.  It would be good to give it a real go this season because many of the big clubs are out.

Richard: Glad to get the win and not concede, but we were often too slow in possession when attacking.  Asensio and Rashford seem to be a good partnership.  It's also great that all of the new signings have slotted seamlessly into Emery's style of play.  Hopefully the players aren't too tired for Tuesday's game.


Lee: We did the job eventually.  Rashford just needs a goal now, it will do his confidence the world of good.  You can't fault his assists though, spot on.


Prit: I'm really happy with the win and it is great to see the Rashford-Asensio axis getting stronger each match.  I thought Cardiff's goalkeeper had a great game and I couldn't believe he has only just got into the team.  I'm still concerned about our defence.  We need Torres and Mings back but, above all, we need a fit Kamara anchoring.


Ian: A good all-round showing.  Marco Asensio showing Ollie Watkins how to score goals is a concern.  It was nice to get a clean sheet.  Let's hope this sparks an improvement in form and results.
