Forest v Burnley

I went through o the game yesterday. Here are my player ratings:

Smith - 8 - cracking save from a point blank header. We don't need another first choice goalie.

Traore - 7 - great display, other than the back heel which invited the pressure for their equaliser
Mancienne - 7 - solid, but still has a mistake in him as with Traore
Worral - 9 - imperious. What a player. The guys massive.

Darikwa - 9 - I couldn't believe that's his first game for us. Defensively sound, great crosser. Antonio lite at times haha. I don't see Lichaj fitting in the first 11. If we sold him and brought in Justin and Ruddock I'd be happy.
Vaughan - 9 - the system seems to cover his lack of pace. As does his distribution and the way he holds / shield the ball. Not the long term answer but didn't look out of place
Ward - 7 - his usual self
Osborn - 8 - still not sure it's his best position, but if you thought he ran around like a man deranged last year, he looks the fittest in our squad and could have done another hour easy.

Clough - 7 -didn't stand out, but he was on the opposite side of the pitch. I think he put some good crosses in.
Murphy - 8 - took his goal well, held it up brilliantly. A lot faster than I thought he would be. Deserved a second.
Brereton - 7 - not his ideal position, but he did well and linked up well with Darikwa.

I'd had a few so the subs were a bit of a blur, probably got the lineup as well.

Hobbs didn't really seem to fit into the system as his passing was quite weak.

Overall: 8.5. Fittest I've seen a Forest squad. Darikwa looks like he's played for us all his life. Murphy was everything I'd hoped for. Bouchlakis could play in the Prem based on that performance.

Top half finish I'd say. I'd be amazed if we didn't batter Millwall on Friday. That £50 is looking pretty safe.
