A lesson to be learned, how to beat 10 men

"we will be above them at the seasons end."

if you get the right Refs

Derby and proud.
Monday at work will be bliss

No point blaming the referee, we only had ourselves to blame. If we'd stuck in 2 or 3 in the 1st half then we'd have been in a better position to deal with going down to ten men. Where the confidence and excellent passing play has suddenly disappeared to is a mystery.

Just hope we don't go on a losing streak now after such a good start. Blackburn on weds won't be an easy game.

What I saw was a bunch of unprofessional, whinging, whining, players who's abilities seemed to be limited to falling over in both convincing/unconvincing fashion, berating the Referee and appealing vociferously at every opportunity or the merest hint of a foul/offence.

For a Derby fan to say that defies belief. You were the dirtiest side seen at the City Ground in a long time in the first half, and got away with it.

Having seen the challenge by Cox on TV, I agree that he should have been off, but at least one of your players should have been in the bath by then. The ref kept his cards in his pocket too long, then showed Reid the first of the day! He followed that up by sending Blackstock off for an elbow which was probably accidental (unlike the later elbow in Gillett's face which didn't even bring a free kick).

Your cynical performance and the weak ref who let it go on set the tone. Forest were to blame for not making you pay from the numerous free kicks you gave us. It could still have been a good game 2nd half without the shocking ref.

Don't worry - you can go back to being a part_time_supporter again, pts.

Plenty of pink seats in attendance next time, now you've lost your cup final again.

HARDNUTZ

now you've lost your cup final again.

Think you got that the wrong way round. May have been your cup final (as shown by your awful fouling in the first half). We'll go on from here and finish above you.

I love that my team have massive balls and are not afraid to show them
All I ask for is to scrap for every ball, they did, we won, what a hat-rick
