Not surprisingly the ratings were not high and no player, including substitutes, failed to reach more than 3.6 out of a ten star rating system.
Midfield duo of Paul Green and James Bailey only managed 2.68 and 2.80 respectively. This score earning Green the title of duffer of the week. Tomasz Cywka was only slightly better rated, polling a score of 2.82
Defender John Brayford waded in with a strong (for this set of ratings) average score of 3.26. Dean Moxey also received a favourable rating of 3.05
It was again no surprise that Kris Commons, returning to the City Ground and scoring a free-kick, averaged the top mark of 3.52. Surprisingly we have had our first tie for the top rated Rams player and Stephen Bywater, despite being beaten on five occasions also polled 3.52
Substitute Chris Porter also managed to creep into the 3's, with an average rating of 3.03. Fellow striker Steve Davies only managed a 2.88
Full rating s for Derby County players v Nottingham Forest are as follows:
Stephen Bywater…3.52
John Brayford…3.26
Shaun Barker…3.00
Dean Leacock…2.73
Dean Moxey…3.05
Paul Green…2.68

Tomasz Cywka…2.82
Luke Moore…3.51

So the Rams end the Year on a very low note but have their chance to get off to a flying start on New Years day with a victory over bottom of the table club Preston North end.
Thank-you all for the ratings for the first half of the season and we hope you will continue to give them during 2011. It just remains for us to wish you all A HAPPY NEW YEAR...!
