Stephens deserved to be subbed, was a liability. Dervite's passing was just about as bad but did his job of heading, blocking etc which is what he's there for. Maybe they both should've been taken off at half time.
When I saw the team at 2 30 pm I said to my dad we might as well go home.shocking team selection so negative.it might work away from home but the manager should not keep the same team just because you won the last game....horses for courses as the saying goes.dervite was unbelievably bad.....mind you a blame the manager more for picking him.once again powell has cost us more points today i'm afraid and I am finding it increasingly difficult to defend him after each poor home performance.
i was amazed with the line up it was as if powell just wanted to stop forest rather than go for 3 points.really hope next week and the millwall game we have a right old go.Powells got it spot on away from home but at home needs to change his mindset
i would rather see us play 4-4-2 at home and have a go rather than set up negetive and allow the away side to get on the front foot. we have not got one decent midfielder who could put their mark on the game and drive us on.
He can't trap a bag of cement, but at least he won the ball a couple of times. Stephens didn't complete a pass until the 35th minute and was out-muscled in every 50-50.
I'd like to see him play away though, where the 451 works better
Seriously, I can never decide if Dervite is a good player who does stupid things, or a crap player who has the odd good moment. And after today I'm none the wiser although thats being generous.

Pretty much how I feel. I'm inclined towards the latter today but then it wasn't the finest hour of any player in our colours really. He can do a job I guess but if Andy Hughes ever gets fit again, I would put him in over Dervite any day.
Easy to put the blame on a single or 2 players, his performance was at the level of the team... not better, not worse. If he was that bad, why CP didnt replace him? The organisation has been disturbed by playing at 10 against a Ntgm team in full confidence and with better technique .The one to blame is rather Kermo who destabilized the team. No reason why a team can work well away and fails at home, except if you remove one key player who was at full steam. defending schemes can work well at home , even if fans dislike.... sure he was not at his best but who else was?

I know where you're coming from and feel that about most of our players this season (a little harsh) I think some have outperformed their natural ability and will struggle to keep performances as good as required

years back i called les berry banana boots as a pass always went side ways to where he wanted to pass it
Devitt can f++k of back to where he cane from NOT GOOD ENOUGH for a pro football player end off----just f++k off.
