Beat them, go above them, and shut the Notts inbreds up. Once A Ram Always A Ram. Kazim to win it for us. Can not wait now an till Friday night.
I’ll be happy with a point. I said four points from Huddersfield and forest would be good. Hoping for a win though obviously.
Not much between the teams, massive local Derby, anything could happen. So sad there’s no crowd. To win would be momentous of course. But if it doesn’t go our way it won’t ultimately change our season - both of these teams will finish comfortably above the relegation zone and we’ll finish above them.
Can't we change the title to notts forest?
Absolutely, years of working in Notts it always made me chuckle just how much calling them Notts triggers them.
Even more strange when Notts is much more factually accurate than Nottingham.
Both teams started the season terribly and are now in fantastic form. We have slowly been climbing the table together. Normally for this fixture it seems one of us is playing badly and the other well, and the side playing well ends up getting derailed. Understandably there's an air of confidence on here, just as there is on the gumps board.
Can’t help thinking Hughton’s going to park the bus and we’ll have trouble breaking them down.
This is going to be seriously tough. It's something like 4th Vs 5rh in the form table. Both teams have an xG against less than 0.5. So I reckon it'll be a 0-0 draw.
The faux outrage from Forest fans on Rooney calling them 'Notts' is bordering a genuine mental health prognosis. Never seen anything like it. Grown men crying about being called Notts rather than Nottingham...
Tonight’s gonna be a tight one. Think 0-0 would be the safe bet, however my gut is saying 1-0 Derby. I think Forest do have the better attacking players so how we manage them will dictate how the match goes.
The Brian Clough Trophy is coming home tonight.
I'm looking forward to seeing Kamil Jozwiak run at the liability that is Cyrus Christie.
Good to see Lolley on the bench, always looks their main danger.
We saw how Bamba dealt with the last min freekick last season so lets put him under pressure with our set pieces. Murray starting means he wont have the pace to press or run in behind but will be dangerous in the air so lets not make it easy for them to put the ball in the box. Big game needed from Buchanan vs Knockaert, dont let him cut in onto his left foot. He wont track back when Buchanan bombs forward.
That pitch really is shocking and not helping our play, Waghorn and Jozwiak both have lost control when trying to run with the ball you can see it bobbling up.
Ribeiro thinks he’s Bamford what a ducking cheat of a dive.
So the dogs game plan is get a free kick anywhere chuck forward the centre half’s and chuck it in there - limited but percentage based.
That’s a penalty all day long.
Blatant peno, screwed by awful referees yet again!!!!
How has the linesman not seen it and HOW has Knight just missed that!
What a surprise, penalty appeal but not given, Marinakas transfers 1 grand.
Miss of the season.
Well drilled aren’t they , when teams lose the ball they will break with 3-4 players, when it breaks down, zoom they are back in position.
I don’t think it was penalty but I am old school but it was a dreadful miss for the lad.
1-0 to ref, well done matey. Notts scumbags.
You can't blame him, he doesn't want his home burning to the ground.
Cyrus Christie looks overweight from his days with us.
This is easy, they are dog excrement, we will get 3 tonight...on an even more positive note, the commentator on ESPN+ is the most bias Derby fan ever.
Forest cannot play it out from the back. When we press them in their half we look threatening. Problem is that Hughton knows that so at the moment it’s us passing it around while they put 11 behind the ball.
Ducks sake. Utterly shocking defending. Pretty much their first attack. Dreadful, dreadful goalkeeping by Marshall as well.
I feel sick.
Forest are going to sit in and make it very difficult to break them down now. Needed to score that first goal.
Awful from Marshall but that's twice in 3 games we have over broke after a corner. Criminal.
Outside of the goal, I am really disappointed with all these cheap free kicks Forest are buying.
Lost every game this season in which we've conceded first haven't we?
Yup, and Forest have won all 9 that they’ve scored first.
Well that's annoying. We were all over them and they score against the run of play through a goal that, let's be fair, Marshall should have saved.
Need to calm down and get our heads back in the game. Gumps looking so much more composed now they've nicked a goal.
Very good 30 mins but now we need to regroup, looking a bit panicky.
Derby need to get a grip in the second half. We've been trash since we conceded.
We were trash before we conceded but Clarkey was keeping them out.
These are poor and since the goal we’re worse.
Genuine question on the handball - where is his arm supposed to go? I don’t see it raised, I actually see it bent and it’s hit the top of his arm still close to his body. For me it’s a completely natural position and he’s entitled to slide in to block that shot.
I don’t mind losing to forest when they are actually a good side. But we cannot lose to this dross.
One up top against a Chris Hughton side was always a mistake.
Brave save from Roos there I must say.
Not happy with James Garner scoring, hes a real maverick.
Ribeiro and Cafu embarrassing for them the way they rolled about at the slightest touch. You'd expect a bit more integrity from a Hughton side. Let's get stuck in 'em and give them something to roll about for.
Bar 10 minutes we were just the better team. Can see why these beat teams around them who have minimal attacking output, they just strangle you. I can also see why there squad of 40 isn't going to bother the top half as well as those teams create more than 2 chances a game.
Let's face it, the last 4 years of derbies have been absolute bores. Medicore championship teams battling for another year in the championship.
Crikey they have started time wasting already and they are only coming out the changing room.
Come on Derby please score, it might stop sky blowing off the dirty red dogs.
Only thing they are any good at is diving to the floor and conning the ref! Why must notts always play so dirty?
Them controlling the middle of the park like this would have been perfect for Bielik.
Would love nothing more than CKR to flatten Worrall.
Knockaert is an excellent player unfortunately.
How many dives can Knockhaert get away with?
Knockhaert is such a cheat.
I’ll be happy with a point. I said four points from Huddersfield and forest would be good. Hoping for a win though obviously.
