There was a bloke behind me who shouted HOOF every time Derby hoofed it up field. Must say it got a bit annoying after a while, it was that bloody often!
Tend to agree I'm afraid. very disappointing display from Derby. Looked very nervous, and had too many key players having an 'off day'.
Thank god we DON'T have to suffer that week-in, week-out.
Because Forest played such pretty football too didn't they, spotty?
Dirty Forest - 16 fouls to 7 in the match, but that was only to be expected with your disgraceful disciplinary record. I really don't know why as fans you put up with such cynical tactics, spotty. Forest kicked anything that moved - except the ball.

Yeah.. all on the treatment table this morning. Hope they have broken something... OOE .... it's not even a wind up. The ref has said it was a pleasure to have the game which had no incidents of foul play. Except of course the midget who tried to push Darlow a bit too far. Dirty tactics from Derby "hoofball" County
You must be getting colour blind in your old age, Spotty, unless your eyesight is failing for some other reason. From my vantage point it was the team in red who were the long-ball merchants. Not once in the game did Darlow do anything other than kick long, and it seemed Forest's game plan consisted entirely of lumping it towards their two fat lads up front in the hope of winning a throw. Up would trundle the centre-half who seemed to have borrowed Andy Reid's backside for the occasion, and into the box the ball would be hurled.
Not technically against the rules, of course, so we must accept it. Hardly the "Forest way", but then I suppose this is also to be expected, as it seems that all connection with tradition at Forest has now been completely dismantled.
Very poor display from us. Disappointed that we lowered our game to match Forest's rather than continue with the sublime tippy-tappy Barcelona-esque football to which Rams fans are accustomed.
I feel for the traveling fans who braved the wintry conditions to come see the Derby, only to find we were playing like Forest.. Must be devastating, although tempered by an unexpected additional point in your quest to get enough to be able to manage the inevitable 10 point Administration docking.
Dont forget lads...they have come away from a Derby/Forest game without getting beat. They are brave and on a high now. Its new ground for em
Too true Backo - they were celebrating at the end as if they had won the World Cup! Exciting times at Forest.
To be fair, they were excited to still be in the ground so late in a match that they could glimpse the BC Trophy.
Spotty - poor attempt for a Monday morning and badly researched. If you'd bothered to check the stats you will find that we completed more passes than you and had more possession. Which doesnt suggest that we were the ones playing the long balls.
That said, Peeder, the BBC stats reckon we had nine shots on target; that isn't right, is it?!!
Apart from the goal and Hendrick's shot that was tipped over, how many other 'on target' were there..? They reckon 16 attempts, nine on target.. nonsense! I think both keepers were woefully under-employed on the day.
Never have I seen so such BS from one poster on a website, than I have from NFFCSchoolboy on a Monday morning. How can Derby fans put up with this carp every three months he posts after Forest manage a result?
Patronising stuff, his posts. I wasn't sure whether Forest's first half goal went to his little head, bursting the second brain cell, or whether it was just a natural reflex action for him to open his mouth and utter any old carp.
666 - no I don't think that is right either.
We had 4 or 5 in the opening 15 minutes though, so it may be.
I'm never sure what constitues a shot "on target" - Wards free kicks probably count even though both were deflected. Cox's shot that hit the bar is defo "off target". I'd agree that the keepers didn't need/ weren't made to earn their money though.
There was Roberts' right-foot rocket that probably would have made it to the goal if Darlow hadn't picked it up. Both Ward's free-kicks were probably technically on-target until they hit the wall. Er, that's about it though. Wasn't there a looping header that Darlow caught under the bar before the Forest boys threw their toys out of their pram because Ward breathed on him?
Actually, the more I think about it - we battered them, start to finish. How the hell did they keep us to just one goal?

Are you reading this Vidal
I know you're trying to either play the WUM game, or you simply wasn't there. Until Bryson was substituted, Derby tried to play the ball through midfield, and then from back of midfield, up to Sammon. Whilst it was an attempt to play an aerial game, the lesser informed of you will confuse this with 'hoofball'! It's not a hoofball when the ball has only travelled 20-30 yards (less than the distance someone will shoot from a freekick).
Proper hoofball is when your CBs just literally put their foot through the ball from the edge of your own area, with it landing 20 yards outside our area. Admittedly, Derby resorted to this tactic in the last half an hour, which coincided with a downturn in Will Hughes' effectiveness.

Derby spent 33% of the game hoofing it; from a Derby fan who was there.
QED, no more comments required.
Given that possession was 50/50 according to all stats then, either Conor Sammon spent 38 minutes playing keepy-up by himself or that particular Ram was exaggerating somewhat

What? Was this a over-critical Derby fan who suggests it was the worst Derby have EVER player? lol
I was there, it was impossible to measure the percentage, but I tell you now that there was no way 33% of our passes were made from the back, let alone 'hoofed'.
People's perceptions of the game are clouded by disappointment, but up until your goal, we were rolling it around the floor, our play around the centre circle (as ever), regardless of effectiveness is second to none in terms of one and two-touch passing and moving, and we were showing that. Where the hoofball eventually came in was Cohen was getting into the game and step forward 10 yards and Forest doubled up on our midfield when we were in possession, which caused panic and then eventually we copied your tactic of bypassing midfield.
33% Strett? Is that one in fifty or something?
BTW, one of our most respected posters referred to me as the "Voice of Reason" yesterday. In time, you will come to the same conclusion.
From a neutral perspective watching the match on FLS it looked pretty even with some reasonable footie from both sides - certainly not a lot of hoofball.
In all honesty I would expect Forest to play more hoofball under McLeish but from from I've heard from Forest supporting friends the football's been largely on the deck and good to watch.
I was very impressed with Cox and Sharp up front for Forest (must be one of the most formidable frontlines in the Championship) and Sammon looked lively for Derby. Did Hughes have an off-day because he hardly got a mention?
