fair do’s. Like I said it concerns me not so much most people on here. Each to their own. I’m ok with the point and ok with the draw just concerned about another zero goals

We were shipping too many goals,
Now we've tightened up but aren't scoring enough.
Yes it's something that needs sorting, but while in the process of trying to find a happy medium and generally find our in the Championship we still find ourselves in 18th.
I'll take that for now.

I take the point, and as a half season I think it’s a success. However it’s trends that bother me and the current one I believe if not rectified will see is down regardless of how many “happy with the point” moments we have.

But other teams have to improve. Why do people think other teams will improve and we won't?
They also have to improve more than us because we're ahead of 6 of them.

Everyone says “I’d be happy with a point” before the game and then complains when we get one.
It’s Cov innit

Happy with a point against a team with far deeper pockets than us and are 7th or something like that.

I’m never happy with a point. That doesn’t mean it’s not a good point.

I don't think anybody is crying about getting a point. Arguing with people in your head again.

Standard post from someone who didn't watch the game. Probably too busy arguing on the brexit thread.

We were really competitive on the first half, it was a good game to watch first half , we just fell away a bit 2nd half. Like our fitness was lacking . We held on for a deserved point a loss would have been cruel

Derby and Forest can both afford to improve their squads next month, we ain't got a pot to piss in and long term injuries seemingly every few games. We desperately need some help up top and in midfield. Think in the case of the latter there must be at least a few decent free agents available

Before the game, would have taken a pint, but definitely 2 points dropped, the opportunity to win today was there.

Are you serious? They will be scratching their headings wondering how they didn’t have a comfortable win

By "improve" I take it you mean 'add to'? It doesn't always reap the rewards tho, does it? Doubtless both those clubs have funds we don't, but
I'll bet there are more Derby fans wishing they had our 'predicament' right now than those supremely confident that throwing money at a crisis come January will definitely guarantee them C'ship survival.
As for Wednesday, they'll be green with envy of our financial resources.

100% agree.

Should have been Giles for Allen.

His love affair with Shipley is baffling.

I'd rather bring on a substitute goalkeeper than Shipley. Lol

We could do with like for like signings with our injury problems to be honest. Though yes, points on the board is king

Derby are skint so doubt they'll be doing much. Not sure about Forest but all clubs will be feeling a pinch and they've got big wage bills to manage already
