because people look for a reason to dislike Mills and want to like Morgan, also Mills is lumbered with an over inflated fee

Pelts 6

Morgan 7

SSL 7

Konchesky 7

Drinkwater 7

Bamba 8 made some stupid passes but altogether good game

Marshal 7 Decent attempt first half but I don't know why we don't play him on the wing

Nugent 6 Out of position again, Don't know why we cant have him up-front instead of beckford

Dyer 6 Should of done better with his shot IMO

Beckford 5 Didn't look bothered.

Schlupp 5 Didn't look his usual self, didn't know what his role was even when he asked pearson

Howard 5 won balls, chased down but no one helped him

[shen]

The ratings seem a bit generous to me. Obviously only watched it on the stream, but despite dominating the game, Forest, with their very limited forays, had the better chances overall. Konch and Pelts didn't do enough going forward. Bamba isn't a midfielder, but gave it a decent try. It also seemed obvious that our forward-thinking players lacked creativity and skill to get past their men or make any telling passes in the final third. Danns and Wellens were sorely missed today.

[kingfox]

Schmeichel 6 - Nothing much to do better kicking this time

Peltier 6 - Ok performance, not as good as Saturday though

St Ledger 7 - Strong performance, some good tackles and a decent chance

Morgan 7 - Looked comfortable all game

Konchesky 6 - Consistent enough, could of got him involved more

Marshall 6 - Not really in the game tonight, looked ok at times though

Bamba 7 - Broke down plays well, good tackles few woeful passes

Drinkwater 5 - Poor performance in my opinion, kept slowing everything down and playing backwards

Dyer 6 - Some decent runs, but sometimes I forgot he was even playing

Nugent 5 - Did absolutely nothing

Beckford 4 - He has his good games and his bad games, tonight he was bad

Subs - Don't deserve ratings

Not one of them earnt their wages tonight

I don't think any of them lacked endeavour really, if that's what you're implying.

[acooling08]

Everyone a 5 or 6, except Marshall (7).

Nigel - 4 - Wrong subs, wrong formation. Playing our top goalscorer (nuge) on the wing

Howard 5 won balls, chased down but no one helped him

The Beckford 'didn't look bothered' comment is alarming. This was both a local derby AND a must win game.

I thought he looked very frustrated right from the off and was back to his former self of falling on his arse and moaning at the ref.

He wasn't the only one though.. For a Derby game this was very very tame.

I th

It's bollocks, Beckford looked no more or less interested than any player on the pitch tonight.

[Guesty]

Kasper 7, kept a clean sheet and his distribution was good.

Give the back 4 all 7's because they were pretty solid and did their job.

All midfielders a 6, apart from Dyer (7) even though he missed a good chance, he pretty much stopped a goal single handedly from on a 2 on 1 break from a corner.

Beckford and Nugent and subs 4.5, did nothing.

[halferowley2]

It's bollocks, Beckford looked no more or less interested than any player on the pitch tonight.

It just seemed no one wanted to lose but couldn't be bothered to win. Active crowd but no emotion on the pitch 5's for the lot of them.

NP 5 - ineffective substations and lack of them IMO. Tactics were wrong and this was evident in the first half. No attempt to change

[cc_star]

Kasper - 6

Pelts & Konch - 5 - Just average, didn't offer much going forward

Morgan & SSL - 7 - Standard

Drink - 6 - ok, still to find the form of when Barnsley thrashed us 2-1

Bamba - 5 - Not a midfield (or a defender) then

Dyer - 7 - MotM our only threat

Marshall - 6 - Good 1st half, weak 2nd

Nugent - 4 - Lost out there

Beckford - 5 - It didn't work for him

NP - Played the creative formation which comfortably beat Hull but couldn't get past Forest's bus

I thought he looked very frustrated right from the off and was back to his former self of falling on his arse and moaning at the ref.

He wasn't the only one though.. For a Derby game this was very very tame.

He just looked for a foul on everything, we know he can out muscle them but he just doesn't try enough some games.

He looked frustrated at the end from a stupid attempt at goal on the volley even though he could of helped the team out instead of trying a stupid attempt that even he know wouldn't score

[Jimmy]

think he was trying to drive that across goal and just sliced it badly, Lynch and Chambers played well tonight and we didn't play enough through balls for him to run onto instead most were just high balls which even when he did win them there was no on around to pick up the flick, he is never going to be someone to hold the ball up

[Dan]

Schmeichel - 7. Made a good save early on. Largely untested otherwise.

Peltier - 7. Pretty decent game.

Morgan - 7. Nothing really got past him or SSL.

SSL - 7. See Morgan.

Konchesky - 7. Did pretty well again, often up there to help attacks.

Bamba - 7. His ball-winning was a huge difference to the usual for us, however he did like to ruin this with a shocking pass. Mixed feelings.

Drinkwater - 5. Not at the races at all sadly. His worst display for us.

Marshall - 7. Not bad to be fair, one of the few who seemed to try and make things happen.

Dyer - 6. Good in parts, poor in others.

Nugent - 5. Offered pretty much nothing, wasted out wide.

Beckford - 5. Tries to be too cocky when we need it least. Offered nothing.

Subs;

Schlupp - 5. Didn't do anything of use.

Howard - N/A

You are kidding..

Beckfords was a fookin shot mate!

It should have been a cross but wasn't.

You are trying to defend the indefensible here and looking a plonker.

No offence.

Schmeichel 6.5 Little to do, did it fine

Peltier 6 OK

Morgan 6.5 Solid

St. Ledger 6.5 Solid & mobile

Konch 6.5 Usual decent effort

Marshall 7 Some threat

Bamba 7 Good interventions & runs, good passes...& not so good; decent effort out of position

Drinkwater 6 Mixed bag; not bold enough

Dyer 7 Some threat; good run of form

Nugent 5 No threat; poor run of form (still player of season)

Beckford 4 Yes, he's a natural goalscorer, but there are times when you have to do more than wait for someone to play you a perfectly timed through ball...a vital game against local rivals with senior players missing would be a good time to start, but no! He still wants to hang about waiting for that perfect pass, shrugging half-heartedly and failing to contribute: "Am I bovvered?" teenage narcissist personified...sell before he ruins next season for me with frustration!

Forest 6 Organised & workmanlike, but offered little - looked like a team just avoiding relegation

Atmosphere 3 Dead, after being so lively v. Hull as so little to inspire anyone

Gosh... Refreshingly honest...

[iancognito]

Kasper - 6 - had very little to do, decent block in the first half

Peltier - 6 - Didn't get forward nearly enough. It's depressing to be pinned back by Andy Reid.

Konchesky - 7 - Supported well but no end product when forward

St Ledger - 6 - Looked a bit shaky

Morgan - 7 - Solid, just solid.

Bamba - 7 - Dominated midfield but his passing is terrible.

Drinkwater - 6 - Too many loose passes

Marshall - 7 - Probably the biggest threat in midfield

Dyer - 7 - Should have scored in the first half when through, faded & subbed.

Beckford - 5 - Another off day

Nugent - 5 - Looked shattered after ten minutes, had a good chance blocked
