Lawrence's corner isn't bad but a Derby players apparently commits a foul. 

I’m not one of the “The referee is against us” conspiracy theorists, but what was the foul? Compared to all the pushing on Shinnie beforehand?

Not a clue. A forest player fell over, so I assume that - but corners are such a mess nowadays.

I'm pretty sure 90% of all corners involve a foul like that; if refs blew for them all corners would be done away with ?

Think the foul was Watson falling over when the closest player to him was another Forest player

[Ramarena]

Lowe’s having a tough game against cash

[jimbo jones]

Should have made more of that

[Tamworthram]

with our record, one of these corners has to go in eventually. Got to stop conceding.

Agreed. Although Cash and Lolley are two of their best players, tough ask for him.

Forest player on the ground at any point = foul by Derby player

You do know we rotated between a diamond and a flat midfield in our last game?

Yes and all of our best play came as part of the diamond. We only changed to the flat midfield after we made our substitutions.

[SaintRam]

Another Derby corner. 

[Rampage]

Promising play today. I would have sent Yates off. Bit tighter passing and a bit more quality eg the Rooney plus three Xmas signings and top six looks promising.

Will now update this to Derby player on the ground at any point = foul by Derby player

This ref is horrific jesus christ

[mozza]

Good half, evenly balanced.

[SaintRam]

Good Derby pressure there. A bunch of good crosses put in, but all of them just not falling right. Couple of good Martin touches almost put someone in on goal.

HT 0-0

I'd say fairly even so far. Good play from both teams. Both keepers tested. 

[Sith Happens]

Looked like a clear handball earlier on from forest in the penalty area but no one mentioned it.

[RamNut]

Good performance so far.

we've edged it. But forest have had a few chances from the flanks.

[nottingram]

Hard to say who has been better so far due to the contrasting style employed by the French Gary Rowett.

Ameobi has looked dangerous off either foot but Derby look quite fluid all in all

Me too.... but I'm biased.

Exactly this. Bit better than a scrappy local Derby but I’ll take that all day.
