WAT A BIG BLOW FOR JOE

DERBY boss Gary Rowett thought he was on a winner with debutant Joe Ledley.

But given the Rams’ ability to shoot themselves in the foot it was almost inevitable that Brentford would carry a sting in a tail. And just as certain it would come from Ollie Watkins – the Exeter winger Derby were strongly linked with in the summer.

Watkins scrambled in the late equaliser from six yards.
