Has the feeling of a bit of a key game this one in some respects. Our performances have overall been on the rise but there is still the baggage of last year lingering over us and the worries that games like Hull might be a false dawn. A confident win against Forest and a lot of the fan base will likely consider it a corner turned and really begin looking forwards rather than back. On the flip side a loss and I worry things will turn sour such is the fragile nature of the fan base currently.
For what it's worth and at risk of jinxing it, I can't see us losing this one. Forest have been woeful going forwards and we've looked really solid after the Jagielka's introduction. If Hughton is still in charge he will likely be approaching this game as trying to stop the rot and play for a point, so I expect them to sit deep and stay in shape. The question becomes will we break them down ? I think if we play like we did against Hull and the first half of Boro and don't get dragged into it "being a Derby" I think we should create chances (which is a nice change over last season) it's just whether we take them or not. Hopefully with increased game time and player sharpness we will, it'd be a really good time for Sibley to kick on after his goal against Sheff Utd.
In terms of team I think it pretty much picks itself with Lawrence and Ebosele seemingly still out and I'll presume Baldock is fit:
Roos
Byrne Jagielka Davies Buchanan
Bird Shinnie
Sibley Morrison Jozwiak
Baldock

“Woolly Bullies” would be brilliant

Sheffield got lucky there well played our young rams we were the better side .

I can't believe how wonderful it is to watch Ravel just pass the ball. Gives another dimension to the team, put in one particularly fab tackle yesterday and doesn't lack for effort. Worth the ticket price alone. Although his deadball needs some work! ? #COYR
 

Well earned point battled for everything and to think Bielik and knight still to come back.

I’d imagine a fair few Derby supporters will have lost interest.
I mean, what is there to be excited about this season? Some supporters will go to games regardless, as an escape from their daily lives or a chance to see friends. Others will look at the situation and with personal finances tight think they will give it a miss for a year.
I re-joined the forum as I missed talking about Derby as a general fan. I’ll pay my £300 Ramtv subscription for the year.
But I don’t feel a buzz watching this team at all. It’s going to be a tough watch over the next few months. Those that continue to spend their hard-earned money, travel all over to watch Derby this season (especially in the colder winter months) knowing it’s largely going to be a struggle deserve a round of applause.

Can't let two stupid mistakes ruin the good that came out of the game up until last ten mins they did ok not amazing but ok we just need to try harder not to duck up next time. 

Positivity is all we have to try and get through this Rooney won't be leaving unless he walks , embargo won't be lifted and no takeover not really sure what else we can do but look for positives in what I agree is a rather poo time.

Great comeback ! Coyr

Starting the player praise early.
Curtis Davies... What a man he is. He has literally put his body on the line for the club, and now his career. 
Excellent today and will probably be our biggest 'signing' of the year. 

Roos
Byrne    Cashin   Forsyth    J brown 
                       Shinnie
Jozwiak     Bird      Sibley   Lawrence
                          Kaz 
This would be my starting team if no signings are made . I would bring Ebosele on for last twenty mins to run at tired legs and generally cause havoc .

Maybe we're in a position where we need to sell to stay afloat and if that's the case then sell .

I personally think Wayne is on borrowed time and will be gone before we get ten games into the season.  Unfortunately even our Nigel wouldn't come back to this poo parade so don't know what we will do. 

I am very anti - Rooney if that helps. 
Watching us play annoys me doubly about him ...his game management is poor, his man management is bugging me, his leadership is shameful... But right now I look and think we are so painfully short of attacking options and we allowed ourselves to be conned into taking on England's all-time leading scorer on a ridiculous (subsidised) wage and he could hardly be bothered to get fit, undermined the manager and promptly totally let himself go and took the manager's job and stopped playing leaving us woefully short. 
I realise we aren't able to buy anyone and that isn't his fault but if he had shown a bit more commitment to the cause maybe he could have been a viable option. Surely Baldock isn't better than a 35 year old Rooney (who signed for a couple of years as a player) who had actually tried to stay fit? 

Davies, Wisdom Jagielka, Morrison Baldock.
We simply have to have 3 CB’s at the club and Wisdom can cover at right back too. 
We need another No9 and Baldock fills that need. 
Rooney will get the best out of Morrison and he as bags of talent - I think the penny has finally dropped with him to sort his life out 
 
I’d like Aluko, but we have enough cover on the flanks with the remainder of our squad.
