Preston 0 Derby County 1
A vastly improved performance after Friday's debacle. It wasn't free-flowing football but a ground out win, with the Rams looking comfortable for most of the game.
It looked like we were in for the same bad luck that has been haunting us recently, when the referee awarded a very controversial penalty to Preston, who thankfully spurned the ref's very generous gift.
The stats show that Preston had 18 shots to Derby's 2, but Preston rarely, if ever, looked like scoring. Stats can often tell a different story to how the game was really played.
If Derby could only learn to string a few more passes together us fans would be far less stressed out. Rowett wants Derby to get the ball forward quickly from the back, which is the right thing to do, but that doesn't excuse inaccurate passing and poor decisions.
