If you had to measure the amount of guts, determination and backbone displayed by the team, the amount of confidence and respect the players will take away from the game - the only way to describe it would be ‘immeasurable’.
Only once had the Rams won at Forest in the league over a 33-year period and in a season littered with records already – you could not have scripted a better way to do it.
Down to ten men after less than ninety seconds following a soft penalty and the ridiculous sending-off of Frank Fielding.
But the Rams grew another foot to make up for one less man determined not to let this be another result like Coventry.
Slowly, Derby gained control and Jamie Ward channelled Pele as he left defenders in his dust to score a sensational equaliser.
In the second half, youngster Jeff Hendrick slams home the winner to complete a fairytale comeback that will live long in the memory.
After the match, even Nigel allowed himself to celebrate as his team had climbed back and completed a near-impossible mission.
Ten men down – one nil down – no problem.
This is the new improved, more resilient Derby County FC.
