Forest (A) Match Thread

[RamGer]

Can't agree with people saying that was a good performance by us I'm afraid. Forest are very average but seemed to want it more at the very least. Disappointing.

[AdamRam]

Highlighted the lack of quality we have in the squad once Clarke went off. They closed the avenues down to TL in the second half who was our only dangerous player.

Holmes fails to deliver on so much promise, Marriott gives very little outside the box and CM needs runners around him to be effective.

A bit of a meh performance, can’t blame PC for the cards he has been dealt this season, hopefully he can turn it around but he won’t be able to do that without any funds.

[Gritstone Ram]

Gave it them. A bit disappointed in the end we didn’t get going in the second half until 75 mins. 

[JarodyDCFC]

Disappointing result obviously, but did anyone else think Max Lowe was our best player? He got loads of great crosses in and made lots of important interceptions, passes and runs.

Our away record is similar to a relegation side. This is getting worrying. 

I'm not worried about relegation

[SKRam]

Instinctive reaction is to feel really down after defeat especially to the muppets. But I’m not because In Cocu We Trust. Can see real signs of the ethos he wants from this team. For goodness sake to the doubters give it time 

[DJFern94]

Have to admit as well, the one player I would take from their team is Samba. They seem to have found a composed keeper there, but I suppose you will eventually find one if you have five first choice keepers on the books.

2 up front away from home is shocking. No possesion, long ball, nothing in midfield. Poor formation choice for me. 

Don't agree, we need two upfront, it was going ok but Bielek is the player to drive us forward.  Formation went to pot when he dropped into defence.  Evans did ok I thought when he came on but he does not have what Bielek has.

[Silko]

Also how many times has a mistake cost us ... this malaise has set in now playing out from the back I’m just waiting for a mistake and inevitably it come and costs us the match

Is It?  look at our away form.  It is a mentality thing, if we concede first.

Is it? We were a better finish away from going level today. If it was a mentality issue we wouldn’t have seen the effort towards the end of the 2nd half... more likely it would have meant giving up and conceding more.

But ironically Martin fluffed the best chance

Took his eye off the ball. Schoolboy mistake. 

[jed27]

Even though we lost I’m feeling a damn site more optimistic now than for a long time. We matched them today and gift wrapped them a winner.  Given their league position they’re really nothing special and with a few tweaks we could yet be challenging at the business end of the season. My only concern is that Cocu seems to have stumbled upon the current formation rather than designed it. That done I’ll sit back and await the ritual slagging off. 

[REDCAR]

You wouldn’t know who’s 4th and 15th in the league anyway.... we did enough to knick a point.... had the chances, just didn’t take them... unlucky Rams today.

Sitter mate

Watch it again, there were players in front of him mate and it was a dropping ball.

And the clear chances (at least three) that Marriott missed?

[ramit]

[DCFC Ram]

1:1 or 2:2 would have been a fair result over the 90 minutes. Shame for Bogle. His error more costly than Marriott and Martin's misses in the end.

[Sith Happens]

Had the game been refereed properly, forest play most of it with 10 men, and late on Derby get a free kick in a dangerous position rather than a booking against lawrence.

 

[kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong]

One stupid,stupid mistake to lose that....weird as Bogle was awesome the first half.

I think it showed where we are tho against a better side than Middlesbrough.....we are improving but are only 70 percent there and essentially a upper mid table side as it stands.

Onwards and upwards,come January we will be coming good.

Watched it plenty of times, he connects it is 1-1. Not wanting to argue but he should have scored.  Marriott needs to get his edge/sharpness back.  Hope to see them continue again together
