He's in the RAF, he can do what he wants...

Warburton would be an asset to the club get us back to playing easy on the eye football.

I'd expect a manager at this level to have a plan A, B, C at the very least. No thanks.

Just because someone Warburton knows says he hasn’t got a Plan B, that doesn’t mean he doesn’t change personnel or shape, it just means he doesn’t resort to hoofball.

We could sign him and pretend he is terry Butcher. He looks and sounds just like him. Then everyone would be happy as we would all think we had an ex town legend at the helm and also someone who is a good coach.

"We're winning away, we're winning away, how shit must you be" Why are some fans singing this claptrap?

Bless the numbskulls, they've got a new song.

Numbskulls v people who take things far far too seriously. Which side are you on?

Forest fans responded after the penalty with "How s*** must you be, we've scored a goal", so we're no special case...

You could see why Forest had not scored in six games. Carter-Vickers had Brereton under his thumb with the Reds’ striker dropping very deep to find space. The hosts lacked tempo and their final ball was inevitably amiss when they reached our area.

The Ward v Osborn contest would define much of the game.

Hyam had a terrific game breaking up play, linking with the strikers and wing-backs and breaking into the box to get on the end of moves. He worked well with Skuse and Nydam to keep an experienced Forest trio of Watson, Guedioura and Colback quiet.

Forest’s attack reminded me of ours in the Jewell era, playing in front of the opposition defence and not landing a blow.

Yes it was a bit of a blow to loose in the way we did,but in truth Forrest never gave up where we as a team were happy with a point and that must have made Bart pretty annoyed when the winner went in.

Morris was the quietest of our academicians but he was up against two very solid Championship centre-halves in Toby Figueiredo and the sly Danny Fox, who left one nasty foot in on Waghorn.

The withdrawal of Morris and Nydam for Connolly for Carayol just before the hour mark kept our shape, although the fan beside me pointed to Carayol’s name still visible on Forest’s pitch-side hoardings from his time at the City Ground earlier in the season.

Forest boss Karanka seized the moment with his switches. They changed their attacking shape with the ineffective passing game of Ben Watson, Adlene Guedioura and Lee Tomlin replaced by the urgency of winger Matty Cash and industrious midfielder Liam Bridcutt. Having a second striker in Apostolos Vellios now alongside the previously ineffective Brereton added pressure to our back line.

Wingers may be on opposite sides of the pitch but they operate as a unit. Cash’s introduction added an extra dimension to fellow wideman Joe Lolley’s game and left-back Osborn went from a defensive liability to an attacking threat. Bridcutt’s midfield American football style “hurry-up offense" was now the perfect foil to Forest’s pair of wingers, attacking full-backs and strikers. Here came the Alamo.

We became stretched with our back line and eventually Ward overloaded. The penalty was clear as day, a weary shove which saw the home crowd erupt and erupt again when Bart couldn’t quite keep the spot-kick out. Forest had lost all of their fear now and Lolley’s match-winner was as sickening as it was inevitable. Why we never win here and always win at Derby is just an Ipswich Town mystery.

Our substitutions were about long-term player development. Forests were about a short-term victory.

This game was right up there with England friendly matches.

Jack Colback somehow looks younger these day, perhaps the air is thinner in the North East. But he reached no great heights as the most obvious sitter behind a bank of midfielders that all shuffled and cajoled behind youth product Brereton. Kicking and snarling like a player who’s stood still then gone backwards, in every sense since the promise of his Town days.

Pantilimon showed for a big keeper he disliked balls lofted across him.

Town were not bad, Forest were not good.

Ward beat Osborn all day long, and Osborn was nearly as successful in the other direction.

It was the introduction not of an extra striker that had changed Forest’s ideas, but Bridcutt in the middle. Watson was all action and antics, Bridcutt business and belief.

Forest were bloody awful and it wasn't much of a game because we're essentially left with dead rubbers and have no manager.

Derby surely couldn't bottle the top 6 again?

Depends if they call all of their games off when they have injury problems.

Derby County:

2014-15 – 1st at the end of February, 8th at the end of May
2015-16 – 2nd at the end of February, 5th at the end of May
2016-17 – 6th at the end of January, 9th at the end of May
2017-18 – 2nd at the end of January...

The thought of that thuggish tw@t Keogh looking dejected once again would be beautiful in itself.

His pass to set up Sunderlands second goal was a beauty though.

He's obviously not playing the Derby way (whatever that is).
