Here's how Pool's players rated:
1. Dan Grimshaw - 6/10
A little nervy in the early stages on his first league appearance, but understandably so. Unfortunate with Forest’s second goal.
2. Jordan Gabriel - 5/10
Caught out by long diagonal for Forest’s opener and the second also came down his side. Got forward well at times.
3. Richard Keogh - 6/10
Coped well given the hostile reception he received from the fans of Derby’s fierce rivals. Tried to at least bring the ball out.
4. Marvin Ekpiteta - 6/10
Proud moment to wear the captain’s armband in Chris Maxwell’s absence. Given plenty to do against Forest’s pacy frontline.
5. Luke Garbutt - 6/10
Didn’t get much of a chance to get forward as he had his hands full with Brennan Johnson. But his corners were a threat.
6. Kevin Stewart - 5/10
Looked a little off it before he was forced off with an ankle injury. Didn’t offer himself for the ball on enough occasions.
