Roos 6 - fine. Don't recall him making a save even though Forest regularly got into our final third

Byrne 5 - not one of his better games. Some good delivery from wide & looked to overlap but noticed some hesitancy putting the ball into the box. Defensively not great - stood off Garner for his goal & struggled to stop crosses coming in from their left wing, particularly second half

Wisdom 6 - generally OK. Recall a couple of sloppy passes second half but also provided emergency defensive cover as they countered in numbers

Clarke 7 - best defender tonight by some distance. Won everything in the air & made some crucial last ditch interventions.

Buchanan 4 - struggled horribly against Knockaert & offered little going forward. Got targeted in the air & lost a crucial clash with Worrall that set up their goal

Knight 5 - can't fault his work rate but he has to start offering more quality on the ball. Too many easy balls are going awry (particularly first half to Byrne) & shocking effort from 6 yards. Would swap him & Bird - Knight is a fetcher & carrier whereas Max can hurt teams with quality

Shinnie 5 - bit quiet really as he tends to be when we have a lot of the ball. He's better breaking play up & releasing into space, which he wasn't going to get against a team sitting as deep as Forest.

Bird 7 - thought Max was pretty good tonight. Happy in possession, some decent little balls between the lines & some crucial interceptions/clearances

Waghorn 5 - first 30 mins were decent, he harried down the right flank & got involved in move that led to Jozwiak's chance. Thereafter, sloppy touches, drifted out of the game & got in the way of Knight for what would have been a great chance second half

CKR 7 MOM - was barely in the match for long periods but that wasn't his fault, had no service at all. Absolute cracking goal to grab us a point & two decent efforts second half (one narrowly past the post & one deflected over) on the two other occasions he had anything resembling service. 

Jozwiak 5 - hard working & OK when running with the ball but little threat. Had a blocked shot first half for a penalty shout, don't remember anything else he did in the final 3rd

Roos.........5. Looks like he’s been pumpkin’. Spilled one but dived  at Murray’s feet to re-gather. 2 poor kicks out straight to red dogs.

Byrne.......6. Not quite “on it”. Statuesque for the dogs’ goal. 

Wisdom...6. Dallied at times and looked prone to a costly error.

Clarke......6 Collectively the defence was a bit ragged at times. 1 game too far in a week?

Buchanan...5 Below par. Knockaert found some joy.

Knight........5 Missed a sitter. Not quite “at it”.

Shinnie......6 Effective but without the forward flair.

Bird............7 Won his battles. We need to see more forward passing.

Waghorn.....7 Some scruffy & sloppy play but not so many errors and fought hard.

CKR............8 MotM Smashed in an unlikely equaliser from nothing. Had to come deep to get the ball. 

Jozwiak.....5 Tired quickly and faded. 
 

We looked off colour. One game too far in a week.

No half marks or zeroes, only the players below in that order.

Roos 6 after a nervous first few minutes did ok

Byrne 5 none of the forward play we want from him and below par defensively and with his passing 

Wisdom 5 too negative by half

Clarke 6 even the man mountain seemed affected by the overall performance 

Buchanan 5 nothing going forward, looked edgy at the back

Knight 5 energy but never really got into the game. Missed guilt edged chance to put us ahead 

Shinnie 5 same as knight 

Bird 5 crab. Yes, craB. Needed to get the ball forward much quicker

Waghorn 5 worked hard but nothing going forward 

CKR 7 MOM because, simply, he dug us out of a hole. Again.

Jozwiak 5 see Waghorn

 

Sibley and Gregory did well when they came on
