Pearson’s methods do not seem to have had the desired effect so far. Maybe like Pulis, MON, Allardyce, it’s time for him to admit he is one of Yesterday’s Men. (I hope I’ve not jinxed it)

We continue to improve and I’m sure we may still have an occasional back step, but I think we have turned the corner. A strong end to the season will give us a boost for next season and maybe make us a more attractive proposition in the summer window.

Maybe Ribs will start tomorrow although I’m a convert to Blackett. Knockaert could also start.

I’ll be disappointed if we lose this one as we hopefully move towards a top half finish to the season

Today should be an excellent opportunity to extend our run f decent results. Brizzie seem in a bit of a rut, whereas we should have some confidence fora change, however this being the craziest season, possibly ever, in the championship, there S no such thing as a certainty. CH may stick with the same XI as last week, though there are a few contenders to start, the promising aspect is the quality of changes available from the bench, regardless of who starts. As with any game the first goal is massive, but an early one for us today could see Brizzie crumble and Forest having a reasonably comfort afternoon, how often does that happen ? Forest to win this one by two goals.👍 Grabban looks more interested than he has been for a while, and I expect him to bag one, no real idea where the other will come from but I’ll have a stab at Worrall.

Lansbury

Wherever he goes, he just makes the team worse

I quite liked Lansbury actually. He was far from the worst player at the time and we've had worse siince. Often had to take a yellow card to dig us out of a hole. Remember him scoring a hat trick one game.

Diedhiou on the bench. He'll come on and cause us problems at some stage. Decent player of the type we don't like,

Fancy a 2-0 today for us. Hopefully Grabbs can net another

Barnsley away

I liked him too, when he could be bothered - he was a bit like McGugan, had potential, but was lazy

It just seems that Lansbury has never realised his potential, which is a shame

Mighten hits the post!!!

So close to the opener

Yates almost scores

Derby losing

We are knocking on the door

Fairly confident start, just feel we need more of a threat in the final third.

Lansbury hits the post for Brizzie.

Pleased with that half, just lacking a goal.
68% possession ain't too bad really...

Yeah, I just saw that, it was usually us with the 30% possession stat. Feels much better having more of the ball.

our old problem of not scoring when we dominate has returned.
Their body language looked poor in first 20 minutes - needed goal then. Still think we can win this if the back line doesn't keep taking liberties and we get a break in their box

Grabban isn’t getting into the game at all, Knockaert has been pretty quiet, midfield and defence looking ok. Looks like the sort of game that one goal will win, assuming there is one.

Hope not.
I've got Forest to win 1-3...

I said Forest by 2, pre match, but it’s so disjointed atm that I can’t see either side scoring, however it only takes a second.

We seem to be losing it in midfield atm

Neither attack are linking at all, most balls just drift out for a goal kick. Brizzie must brighter this half.

Total lack of quality on balls into the box, pretty poor game.
