Spent the first 60 minutes slagging off the home support. They go a goal down and there's not a peep out of em for the rest of the game.
Did they? I barely noticed that they were there.

We did seem to be a bit quiet in the first half, but we sure did 'ram' it up them in the second

If we were top of the league we might have been a bit noisier ..as said soon as they went down not a single peep

I think most, like I, were too nervous of conceding a goal...

Did you expect anything else?
They go into the game as league leaders facing perennial strugglers and rightly make a lot of noise, taking the piss out of the (lack of) home atmosphere.
Then they go a goal down and their spirits dampen. A second follows and they all but breathe their last.
See it time and time again at grounds all over the land.
For me, at least until we scored, Derby had one of the better away supports I've seen this season. And at their worst they still made more noise than us.

To be fair I thought that they made a lot of noise in the first half and as usual the NS was singing two songs (quietly) at once. We started to get it together when we were getting a battering in the second half but once we scored they went very sullen, and we gave it some decibels. And even a couple of times both sides of the NS sang the same song!

Perhaps, after the North Stand's genius rendition of "Dougie, what's the score?" just as Forest were about to take the free kick from which they would- inevitably- equalise, it finally dawned on them that karma can be an absolute ******* at times?
Correct in my opinion. We needed that second goal.
Being on the half way line in the West the Derby fans were very loud until we scored. However we were very quiet until we scored.
Unless both sets of fans are loud it's always going to be a problem until more singers are put in large numbers near the away fans.

err we're not perennial strugglers anymore, this season maybe, but not recently.
Yes I did expect more from them, if you go one down you still support your team, your heads might go down after a second, but their support collapsed after the first goal. I wouldn't normally pick up on it but them singing your support is fu**ing shit, and we're Derby County we'll sing on our own, is a touch ironic yeah

Granted 'perennial' may have been the wrong word. But the point stands; Derby came here as league leaders against a struggling team in a ground with little atmosphere. Of course they were boisterous. We'd do the same. We'd also, I'd imagine, shut up pretty quick I'd we then went 2 down (largely) against the run of play.
