There was plenty that could have been done 

holmes was fit enough for the bench and to play the second half ... he could have started ahead of the ineffective Dowell 

at this moment in time id rather see any one of us that owns a pair of football boots ahead of tom Lawrence .... his cheapness on the ball defies belief ... there’s a difference between trying to make things happen and being totally inept and brain dead as to when is a good time to try things and when not to 

i had a forest fan say to me today why u playing Huddlestone and Dowell that won’t work will it ?!

no red dog your right, it doesn’t sodding work... he doesn’t even watch us yet he knows 

u can’t have two players like those two playing together in this league and expect to succeed 

every fuvker knows that 

you would think mr clued up, mr championship expert Leroy rosenior May have suggested this ???

hopefully the one shining light from today’s poo show mess is that by hauling him off at half time the Penney May have finally dropped with cocu 

im Sorry for the bad language but that was terrible today and it could have been avoided 

Another play station geek, who thinks he knows all about football, bet if you was managing this squad you would take us up no problems, grow up, we all new this was going to take time,. So support the team

That’s football though isn’t it. I’m looking going to Leeds but I could say suck it we’re not going cause we’re not gonna play well and get beat!

But I will and we may or may not. But I won’t be going then giving them stick at then end. I may as well go and support Man City and go once a year ?‍♂️

Can you please say that again in a language that is understandable to someone who can read English ?

Well said, people clinging on to Norwich's start and hoping for us to do the same are deluded. It will get worse before it gets better IMO with who we have to play next 2 games.

We may be clinging on to something but that’s what keeps us going year after year, your doom and gloom and sack Cocu etc helps no one. 

Man United play good football ??‍♂️

[Derby blood]

Wow just like to say 6 games in and some right bankers talking poo as per, if you do not like what you see then do myself and many others a favour and stay the duck away, I go to games both home and away to support my club through THICK and THIN, that is what supporting a club is all about, and let's have this same debate after 16 games not after  6. You sound like ducking Manu fans.

Isn't this our January form? 

Today is our usual form ... after a cup match ... when we usually lose a few matches after playing an under-strength side in a cup match.

If I ever stopped supporting Derby which I won't I would never change team, I am no glory supporter I am just sick of the same old poo each season, and I am appalled by how far backwards we have gone in recent years. I never said sack him now, I said give it 4 more games and if we are still on 1 win then we should sack him which is not too unreasonable lets be real.

If you haven’t got a competitive midfield then you can’t compete 

The forwards get isolated 

The defence gets exposed

That's not what people are doing, it's a fact that Norwich did that last season, it doesn't mean that we will, but it does show that if we can get our act together it doesn't have to mean that we can't still achieve our goal whilst being where we are now.

Some of us have felt the fame way but for a lot longer.  That’s why we probably clash heads in posts. We all feel the same way mate. But good times will follow bad and I work with a notts county fan who can’t see our frustration

Wow you're a really good supporter, you're a superior fan to me because you aren't saying critical things about the club. Grow up. People have legitimate arguments in why they're concerned about the club, and you come out with this tired old nonsense. Surprised you didn't trot out the usual line employed which is ''go and support Forest''.

I feel for Notts county being out of the football league, puts it into perspective abit. Its still very frustrating seeing teams like Watford ,Bournemouth, Burnley and Brighton in the Prem with us in the championship for so long, and seeing Leicester who were in the championship not so long ago win the Prem and now look like having a very good season.

But last season we got to a play off final, and the season before we got in the play offs, when I started following Deruby back in 79, we had 5 really poo seasons before Mr Cox came, and gave us a club to be proud of again, listen we are not far away, we have a good owner, great stadium, mainly a good fan base, some great young players coming through and a manager who in the end will get us through this, let's stay positive, it's only 6 games in for ducks sake"

I'm a little perplexed by a couple of the selections myself. Not sure why Clarke isnt starting & why Bielek & Holmes arent starting in midfield. I totally applaud Cocu for being so brave putting youngsters in but feel we might need to be a little bit more solid first.

On the wider point, we're not going anywhere until we have a manager able to build his own team. Fully accept Lampard & Rowett walked but patience is needed, Cocu's track record is good enough to ask that. Want someone with 'Championship experience'? What's Alan Pardew doing these days...?

To be fair to Cocu on Holmes and Bielik, I think it's a fitness thing more than a choice. After the international break I'm sure they'll both be starting in the middle.

On Clarke, he's been pretty poor in his last few appearances, didn't look up for it at all against Forest.

I think it’s unfair to condemn this side when it’s not at full strength. I believe it will get better with Marriott, Holmes, Bielik and Bogle fit and available to start in their preferred positions. 

However positive your outlook is, however, is we now know how bad it can be when the above aren’t fit.

No arguments from me there. Doesn't fill me with confidence knowing how paper thin our squad is though. Those 4 are going to be absolutely key for this season, and Holmes tends to pick up a knock or two.

You're probably right but Clarke started very well this season, it's strange how quickly hes dropped out of favour. Bielek starting at DCM & a runner like Holmes would transform this team. I'm sure Cocu recognises this as you say though
