Matchday thread: Forest v Derby.

[eddy779h34]

Better team first half. Should be ahead. Nasty knock for Samba.

Referee had a shocker he got somethings right but the critical things in a game like this is to control the game playing by stamping it out

Lawrence shouldn't of got a yellow, he should of lectured the goalie more
Myself I thought Morrison wasn't a red card He got the ball easily and when his backside hit the ground his foot raised but nobody was near him
and how it takes 2 minutes to take a throw in and then blow up bang on the extra 6 minutes don't get it

Eddy, we all know the refs are rank in this league.

But the result reflected the match and I think there's no complaints.
Apart from Lawrence, I didn't see anything to worry me from Derby and the only shot on target you had was the penno,
How you've been winning against so many decent sides, is a mystery based on what I saw.

I agree Forest deserved the win
If you want Buchanan it's fine by me, don't rate him, never have

Agree, Buchanan was poor today, having said that Johnson is quality.

Agree too that Morrison didn’t deserve a red, but the referee sees it once in real time. Having seen the Grabban and Morrison incidents in slow mo I thought there was more of a case for Grabban to be shown a red but I understand how the ref reached the conclusions he did in real time.

Thought Samba was heroic at half time staying on with an egg sized lump on his head. By the end I thought he was a tw@t after the penalty incident and then the prancing around with his hands behind his back winding people up. No way Lawrence and Samba deserved the same punishment.

We had the best of the first half and should have gone in ahead but our second half performance was a disappointment and the substitutions only seemed to weaken us. Having said that, Forest were panicking in those last six minutes hence the blatant time wasting. Still proud of the effort in the current circumstances.

Not sure you were the better first half RA.
You had the first 15-20mins. But Cooper saw the error and moved Yates out the back into midfield and from then on, the game changed.
Personally, I am struggling to find where the hell he found an extra 6 minutes. I think panicking is a bit strong, as the stats still say, no shots on target from out field play.

Just spare a though for Worrall missing today. Turns out he's out now for over 6 weeks. He played against Millwall in pain and is now apparent he had 2 broken ribs from that game.
Hard *******.

Yep...fair comment about the first half. Cooper probably out managed Rooney...but then he does currently have better resources.

As regards the ‘panicking’. Maybe a bit strong...but after the penalty your lot did try every trick in the book to ‘hide’ the ball and waste time. Not saying we wouldn’t have in the same circumstances but it did seem particularly blatant.

Would obviously have been different if Lawrence had taken his chance which, compared with last week’s ‘double’, looked simple and Grabban had been red carded (probably would have been via VAR), but that’s football and ultimately I can’t disagree that the better side won.

Unusually I still disagree with MA about Morrison’s red. For me...a yellow at worst...but the events of next week will far outweigh the significance of yesterday’s result.

If we’d been hammered yesterday (and we weren’t) but our survival is assured by this time next week I’ll take that.

I’m not disheartened by this result at all. We are a mid table team and mid table teams lose some times. The five teams above us are in free fall. If we can remain in existence as a club I remain confident we will escape the drop

To be honest, if we have bid 1.25/1.5 M for that, then you have done us a massive favour not accepting it.
Thank you so much.
He definitely couldn't deal with Johnson/Spence
