Keegans Notes
Nottingham Forest Take On Derby In East Mids Derby
Derby County go into this match as underdogs in should usually is a tightly contested match against us. The last five matches have resulted in Forest winning two, Derby winning two and 1 draw.
We are lying in 6th place in the McDonald's Premier League and have drew 3 of our last five away League games. Derby however have so far confounded their critics as the pre-season Relegation favourites and they lie 14th in the Premier League Table. Derby have lost 3 of there last five home games.
A win could see Forest move upto 3rd in the table which would give them a chance of playing in next season's Uefa Champion's League.
Ex-Forest player Antonio Cirjak speaks of the pressures of playing in an East Midlands Derby. These matches are very, very important to the players but most of all to the fans! The atmosphere will be electric and that also means the players would automatically rise to the occasion. Some of my best matches came against Derby and I am sure my old mates will take three points
