We definitely had a plan for Rooney and then he was so bad we were better off letting him have it

Pack's best game in a long time, Bacuna an upgrade over Sanderson's recent form. The wingers worked so hard and looked dangerous. Very pleased how we played although it is slightly concerning we've conceded so many sloppy goals recently. How did we get caught so open for their goal, God knows. Nice to have the options to rotate slightly, it is definitely helping us as Derby were really flagging come the end. Ward has sucked me in like this before but if he plays like he did tonight every week, we'd be mad/skint not to give him a new deal if we're still in this division.

I really wish it wasn't Swansea that could catch us as I'm half tempted to want Forest to lose tomorrow. I think we could beat Brentford in a final but we probably don't have the fire power over two legs.
