Liverpool fans are wild about Harry as loan star lifts Derby

IT is becoming a love affair. longdistance to be clinical away from home because you don’t know how many chances you’ll get.

“So you’ve got to take them and we have the players to do that.”

Jack Marriott’s winner proved his point. Like Wilson, the Derby forward had barely laid a glove on a Wednesday side who led deservedly through Adam Reach.

But with his first sight on goal, Marriott took his tally to seven in 11 outings as the Rams bounced back from a 3-0 home defeat by Aston Villa. Frank Lampard (left) REF: claimed the performance “wasn’t beautiful”, but the result certainly was – and that short spell between Reach’s 12thminute opener and Wilson’s gem 17 minutes later may prove crucial to Derby’s season.

“Villa, coming just before the international break, wasn’t great for us,” added Wilson.

“We just wanted to get back out there and put all the things that went wrong in that game right.

“We knew we were not playing well and when we conceded that early goal, heads could have dropped and we ATT: might have let in another. But we know we can get things to click by going up a level or two and by the end of the first half, we did that.”

Like their opponents, Wednesday were on a mission, having failed to win at home since August, but confidence sapped from the players once Wilson levelled.

And some fans turned on defender Morgan Fox after he hit the post from two yards out in the second half.

Manager Jos Luhukay refused to discuss his own position afterwards, but knows after a run with just one point from six games, another defeat against struggling Bolton tomorrow could prove fatal.

He said: “Because we lost, we are now closer to the teams at the bottom. That is the reality, but we must keep fighting, get a little bit of luck and stop the individual mistakes.”
