Felt that the midfield was disjointed today, even before Cohen and Reid departing. Not seen another midfield control the game over us for ages.
I always feel a little nervous over our defence but today felt that they were always looking strong and working hard together as a unit. Just thought that too many going forward to attack and not enough willing to do the dirty work and clean up at the back.
Strike force always looked willing and strong.
All in all, apart from the obvious 2nd yellow they should of had I'd of taken 1 point away. But we looked rusty and tired.

Why oh why did we play with one striker? To many times not enough supporting britt in my opinion, crosses going in with nobody busting a gut to get in the box. Also I know britt is strong but hoofing 25/30 yard balls to the smallest bloke on the pitch was crazy.
just hope cohen's injury ain't to serious and as 4 reid he looked tired from the start too many poor poor crosses before he went off.

For me Mancienne was MofM by a mile, Antonio either got tired / injured as he seemed to fade in and out of the game. Reid I agree was not on top of his game. Lansbury and Terse however were good and Darlow definitely premiership quality. An observation when that free kick came in all the players were in a line ( Forest and Derby ) when the ball hit the cross bar the Derby players got to the rebound first. I am sorry to say I was not impressed with Chris Burke, can Patterson play that that side? Forest deserved a win apart from Will Hughes they were not good.
Poor Chris Cohen if this is truly another knee injury and by his reaction it must be he won't come back again.

Agree we should have played two up top. Britt was feeding on scraps. The albino was clinical today and I thought our defense were worried to stick a boot in. Hunt was great in the second half but unused in the first. Burke ran hard with little brain. My first derby though and absolutely loved it. Lower bridgeford you are brilliant. Top of the league mind!!

After reading into Pearce's interviews he wants to integrate the academy with the first team. Noticed the academy have all been playing 4-5-1 a lot. Maybe this is the way we're going. Sort of one for all and all for one! Barca, Ajax & Bayern all have the same systems in place throughout the age groups. Players fitting our system not systems fitting our players.

Thought derby were only after point.
Game needed us to score early on so they would have to come out.
Manchiene mom by a mile.
We're solid all over but lacked a little
Guts to risk the extra player in attack.
Think we were scared of loosing.
Britt goal was super.
But when we at home we should play 442.
When Cohen and Reid went off we should have just dropped Lansbury back into midfield with tesche. And give pato or lars a run up front with Britt. What was wrong with fryatt

Agree with comments about Mancienne, brilliant again although I think he got beat to the header by Keogh for the goal.
Burke had an off day today but been awesome in previous games and has a good partnership going with Hunt.
Tesche looks a very solid midfielder and with the injuries suffered today I'm so glad we have a quality player in Vaughan to step in
