V Notts F*rest (h) match day thread

[SaintRam]

Meh. 

[Barney1991]

Example then bryson just fell over in a 50 50 right near the end looked knackered and didn't even get up to chase back when they threatened near the end 

[JarodyDCFC]

Poor in my opinion, first 35 was all Derby, since then it was pretty much all Forest. Didn’t hold possession well at all especially in the second half, and Forest  defended with their lives. 

[Van der MoodHoover]

Couldn't put one away against a makeshift defence. 

Been a while since a 0-0 against forest hasn't it?

[G-Ram]

I think we’ve been slightly the better side

To be fair though, them lot are unbearable at the best of times. It would have been totally unbearable if they’d won 

[Anag Ram]

Can't fault the effort but the game became one big adrenaline rush. All too hurried. I have to say hats off to our young players, especially Bogle.

[cosmic]

Worked hard. Lacked quality. 

You can say that for both teams. Fair result. 

[angieram]

Frustrating evening, so few clear chances for us despite some enterprising approach play. Lawrence blew the opportunity to slide Marriott in and there went our biggest hope of a winner.

[Mr. P]

Could’ve been better. Could’ve been worse. 

[RadioactiveWaste]

Pretty even and nil nil a fair reflection, lots of endeavour, not so much quality.

We had some good chances, they had some and hit the bar.

We kept grabban pretty quiet though.

 

[SillyBilly]

A point is okay for both sides, Forest will be more pleased with that though (or disappointed). They had the better chances IMO, looked more of a threat on the counter. Second half was disjointed and rather flat from our point of view. Not really a Derby we'll remember as nothing really happened. 

[hintonsboots]

Two clean sheets on the bounce........positives positives.

Think Frank will need to add a few in the window.

[Duracell]

The way both teams played first half was unsustainable.

Both teams successful in their second half aim of not losing the game.

The fact Forest are as good as us this season weirdly made the game worse, as we cancelled out each others’ high press.

[ramboy63]

Fair result in the end

But we are a million miles from were we were when Mount was on fire and Waghorn on the right hand side,who unless he is injured must be pants in training ot to even make the bench

[KCG]

I think the players let the occasion get to them. We had no measured control of the game; it was far too hurried.

[Steve How Hard?]

Hard fought point that was probably fair overall. Fortunate that both Grabban and Lolley left their shooting boots at home. On the flip side Pantillimon stood up to everything we threw at him. Takes us up a place in the league so not a disaster.

[Ghost of Clough]

Impressed with Bogle today. Very calm when in possession, recovered well when Forest were breaking, and a few nice dribbles. My man of the match. 

[Sexydadbod]

Pretty poor game overall in my opinion where both sides lacked quality. We lack creativity in the advanced midfield. Huddlestone provides this when he ventures forward but as a sitting midfielder his passing quality can sometimes be wasted and makes us vulnerable on the counter. 

Would like to see Holmes having an extended run in the side starting in midfield ahead of Bryson. Or reassess the situation again in January. Someone like Barry Bannan would be a nice fit as he can play deeper to help Huddlestone or link the play higher up field.

That’s what happens when the ref starts to wave play on after bad fouls. The players want to get rid of the ball as soon as they have it

Apart from his high arm, he had a really good game.
