RAMS RATINGS
DAVID MARSHALL 7
Recalled to the team, the Scotland international made three saves in the first half when Derby were a goal up, including a key one from Elijah Adebayo. Handled well and confidently throughout.
NATHAN BYRNE 7
All-action performance by the rightback, although he picked up a silly booking.
ANDRE WISDOM 7
Strong display in the centre of the Rams’ defence.
MATT CLARKE 7
Played his part in a clean sheet for the Rams.
CRAIG FORSYTH 7
Won some important headers in his own box. A steady display by the experienced left-back.
MAX BIRD 7.5
Looked more confident, certainly more positive in possession and with his passing. A key figure in midfield during the 90 minutes.
GRAEME SHINNIE 7
Great determination and desire in the way he competed in midfield from the first whistle.
MARTYN WAGHORN 7.5
Axed from the squad for the previous game, he produced a positive response. Assist for Lee Gregory’s goal that put Derby one up, unlucky to pick up a hamstring injury and was replaced just before the break. Set the tempo for Derby’s performance.
LOUIE SIBLEY 7
Played on the right side and was a threat. His cross picked out Waghorn in the build-up to Derby’s early goal.
TOM LAWRENCE 7
First start since December and a confident, bright display. Won the penalty for Derby’s second goal. He has been missed.
LEE GREGORY 7
His close-range finish gave Derby the prefect start and he worked well with Martyn Waghorn in a front two.
