RedDogs 1 - 1 Rednecks

Forest finally put up something of a fight. Derby second best overall. Good game. Things looking up under the stewardship of Big Eck.

A few questions:

Were you expecting NLN to play for a draw at home?
Was Connor Sammon playing?
How much will the sheep miss Will Hughes when he signs for Man Utd?
Didn't our 'comedy Chilean' have a good game? Yes he did!

The only Derby player to impress me was Keogh,kept Derby in it whilst the other 9 defenders flapped about

If Derby had to use 10 defenders to contain Florist's bristling attack, implying that The Rams were just trying to salvage a point, how the hell did we manage 9 shots on target to your side's frankly pathetic (but an improvement of late) TWO?

Also, how come Forest committed SIXTEEN fouls to Derby's 7?

Fewer shots, fewer shots on target, fewer corners, more fouls. Typical filthy performance by Shottingham's loanees.

OOE,That's a mystery only the BBC can answer. You telling me that Derby had what you could seriously consider 9 attemps on target.

Got to say Cousin Omar that facts don't always tell the whole story. I think Darlow had barely a save to make apart from coming to collect from corners & set-pieces. I thought Derby would try to test him more. Neither did Legzdins either in truth. A game of very few clear-cut opportunities, Sharp's miss probably the best at the end.

Hardly surprising that you won't answer any questions, Cousin Omar - typical Shottinghamite.

Will never answer a question until his lawyer's present.

CapnBob - Legzdins didn't have a save to make either - neither goalkeeper was really tested.

I did say that, Eddie. I think winter, the festive period caught up with our team today, the occasion as well. The experience will benefit them. Irritates me the way fans, our own, our rivals, pick on Hughes. He's 17, he'll have dips in form & maybe Forest should send a letter of thanks to the Brighton player who kneed him in the back last week.

West Brom's Chilean did look impressive in the first half, he really contained our unfit winger well...err..well until he and the rest of your defence disappeared for that moment of the match we call Derby's goal.

@Capn, I agreed, our squad is too small and constantly loaning out our 'squad' players (term used loosely) is not helping. As for Hughes, well when Forest consider Reid to be the definition of a quality CM, what can we expect?

In all honesty, the fact Forest are so happy about this result and somehow seem to consider yesterday a great result; well in my opinion, that about sums it up for them, does it not? A draw against us in a very average game is what they have come to believe is a good result.

2 points dropped for us, so not that happy. Should have been 3 or 4 nil to us.

That would have been impressive considering your TWO shots.
