That was a typical Derby performance. Fortunately it was from them. UTR. They docked us 21 points…

That was a superb second half. Credit to absolutely everyone involved. Best performance of the season for me and richly deserved.

Player Ratings after 22 Games
Thanks once more for providing your player ratings after each game. Table 1 and Fig 1 give a summary of how things stand after the most recent game away versus Wigan. Curtis Nelson heads the pack with an average rating of 6.99, closely followed by Cashin on 6.78. The Top 5 comprises 4 defenders so we can see what this season has been based on hitherto. Wildsmith has done very well to gain an above-average rating of 6.32  (6.0 is "average") given that of late he has had very little to do so limited opportunity to score above a 6.0. I'm currently working on some charts to show relative movement across the season; for example Wilson has shown considerable improvement of late, as too Hourihane and Collins. The data generally shows few surprises - I think the data has good "face validity" in that this picture will fit in with most fans' "intuitive" view of whom our best performers are.  I'm a tad surprised that NML isn't higher but I often think that some players who set a high personal standard sometimes get marked down when they don't quite reproduce that. 
Going forward, I will try and keep a more up-to-date analysis, but please bear in mind that over the last couple of days, I have spent nearly 9 hours mostly punching the data - it's quite time-consuming. I've also still go to do some analysis that some posters have asked about specifically. That will come if it shows anything of note.   
 

Bit of an embarrassing result. Still they were probably tired after the Man Utd game and probably would have got more if this wasn’t the case. 

Just send Brighton Sonny Bradley, take the money, close the curtains and refuse to answer the door. Job done.

Very happy with this. After Nelson, he has been the pick of Warne’s signings.

6-0 now. Have Forest put their first team out or something?

Sorry meant to add what a difference a good ref makes. Maybe Becky should get a look at this guy and learn how to do it properly
Let the game flow, book players only when necessary, the game never once got out of control.

Nelson and Cashin were, yet again, excellent. Lincoln were dreadful. We were poor. I’m glad we won- it makes me happy. What a dreadful league this is.
