Nottingham Forest fans are bitterly disappointed in dropping two points against Derby County<\/a> in the East Midlands derby.<\/p>\n

Nottingham Forest Fans Fury Over Late Draw With Derby County<\/h2>\n

Chris Martin Levels Scores at the Death<\/h3>\n

Joe Lolley opened the scoring for Forest after just 12 minutes with a trademark left-footed finish; the right-winger cut inside against the defenders and bent a low shot beyond Ben Hamer.<\/p>\n

Both sides came into the tie with a 100 per cent record since football’s restart, and the two teams’ up-turn in form was evident with chances on offer for both.<\/p>\n

Lewis Grabban\u00a0missed good opportunities while Nuno da Costa struck the post as Forest came close to a second goal.<\/p>\n

Derby County improved during the second half, especially with the introduction of Martyn Waghorn.<\/p>\n

Jaden Bogle hammered a shot marginally wide shortly after the hour-mark; Chris Martin turned well under pressure but was unable to beat Brice Samba.<\/p>\n

But the drama came in stoppage time when Waghorn was shown a straight red card for a heavy challenge on Ryan Yates.<\/p>\n

And, just moments later, the Rams levelled.<\/p>\n

A cheap freekick conceded by Joe Worrall allowed Wayne Rooney to deliver the ball into the box; Samba failed to deal with the delivery properly and Martin was on-hand to bundle the ball across the line in the seventh minute of added time.<\/p>\n

What the Fans Have to Say<\/h3>\n

Bookmakers had a draw between the two sides the most likely outcome, but that does not make up for the heartache felt by Forest fans.<\/p>\n

The Reds had led for the majority of the game and should have converted more of their chances in the final third of the pitch.<\/p>\n

Here’s what Forest fans had to say at full-time<\/strong><\/p>\n

It's disappointing, but 8 points from the 12 we had is still brilliant. Stopped the sheep and still secure for playoffs. Try look on the brightside lads#NFFC<\/a><\/p>\n
