Derby County - Nottingham Forest

[tugger2018]

I think our biggest current problem is none of our players look like they can score except Murray this is why last season Sammy and lolley kept us up there with the odd goal

I rest my case ^

I don't think the case is closed Sniff until he produces for Nottingham Forest anything like some of those comments suggest he did for QPR. Top finish of 16th? 

Its easy to shine in sh1t as they say. 

Some players just fit certain clubs/teams. Birtles Robbo for us. Neil Harris for Millwall. 

Hes probably got over a dozen games to show that player, because some of those descriptions are so far from what we are seeing its untrue at present.

To repeat though I would love it if he did produce.

Him producing for Nottingham Forest though was not my case. My case was that he has ripped up the league before.

Oh that case. To be pedantic finishing 16th or below might be a case for not exactly ripping up the league m'lud. However, he clearly was their best performer.

So now reported that the Sheep sh@ggers goal scorer last night received racially abusive messages last night.  Why do these morons taint the clubs name?

Yep.

 But the ridiculousness of supporting a club like ours with its rich history of cultural diversity, so many BAME players and last 2 managers??? Morons for being racist and sending the crap they do, but doubled down by doing it whilst claiming to support our club from this City. Morons is too mild.

Is there actually any evidence that this disgusting act is connected to Forest or are we just assuming?

Hughton is persisting with him as the only way to get match fit is to play matches.  The manager clearly feels there is a player there.

Freeman didn't come to Forest fully fit it appears.  Not just from not playing for a year (like Colback...) but this hernia problem.

The 'Freeman' we remember for QPR, he's still in there somewhere.  He knocked in a belter earlier in the season.

The battle is with himself and time to get back to full fitness.

Agreed Pap 100%.

I think we are lucky to have such a genuine and experienced manager who seems to be tactically aware of what’s needed match to match , and is slowly building a team that not only plays together but is bonding and supportive and wants to win . Joe Worrell who I watched whilst working at the academy  is becoming a vital member of the team and growing into a fine defender . I really like CH as a person, and he speaks honestly with his assessments and we should extend his contract with the club ASAP .

Gold.

I thought that last night we made Derby look poor. They were slow and lethargic and had appeared to have no pride or passion for the most part of the game, then get their goal totally against the run of play, after an error by Figs. We were by far the better team on the night and with a bit more venom in our final third, would've won that game comfortably.

Once again, errors at the back and a lack of cutting edge up top has cost us yet more points, on the back of a solid performance

Happy with a point and even happier with 7 points in 6 days. Felt sorry for Figs who part from his error was really good yesterday and has been very good recently too.

We are not far off being a really good side. What worries me slightly is that 3 members of our starting 11 will be going back to their parent clubs at the end of the season. If we could somehow get Garner, krovinovic and Knockaert back then I really fancy our chances next season.

7 out of 9.  Is great compared to where Forest have come from.

As for the holy trinity.

'If.'

Made Swansea capitulate their 'A' game and put the lambs to slaughter.

As you say...'Once again...'

But the performances are the 1st rays of sunshine of a new dawn.  It was darker before Hughton arrived.

Mid-table is very close in the main. Only Cardiff are some way off Forest (after a terrific run of wins) on 50.

A win over Luton would put Forest 2 points off 10th. Stoke. Four points off Boro in 9th.

Forest are on a great run of 2 losses in 15. But we could do with putting a 3 or 4 match winning run together.

Another 7 out of 9 points from next 3 games would do just fine.
