Not good enough though. This was Forest’s third dw win over Derby in nine ine months.

Lamouchi (right), 48 yesterday, said: “It is a good birthday for me, one that I shall remember.

“A fantastic day, a fantastic result.

“So proud, so happy for the players, and the fans.

“It is gift for me but it is also a gift for them.”

The last Derby player to score against Forest was David Nugent in a 2-2 draw over twoand-a-half d h lf years ago, a run of f five derbies. Apart from Bogle’s bungle Derby might have come out of this one without a goal again but with a point.

“It’s a difficult for Bogle because he feels he let his team dow down,” Cocu said.

“But now the job for t the team is to support him, pick him up, help him.

“He has to learn fr from it and go on.” L Lamouchi has pulled Forest out of the mini slump that brought two successive defeats. Now, with victories against Luton and Derby, they are back in the promotion hunt.

Tiago Silva pulled the strings for Forest with his passing ability, particular­ly at the start of the second half when they were dominant.

But poor Bogle took a pass out of defence from Curtis Davies and with the impressive Sammy Ameobi pressurisi­ng him, played a ball to a teammate who just wasn’t there.

Grabban lived up to his name, grabbing the chance and his seventh goal of the season.
