I don't get all this Shinnie was poor etc, he does what's expected of him, always chasing and hounding the opposition and got in some great tackles to break their play up.

He put in some good tackles towards the end but before that he was late to everything, dragged out of position a lot and very easy to play around.

When Bird plays on the front foot going forward he's a completely different player. Great range of passing, sees runs and delivers great through balls.

One more point to make, just shows how much you need the old heads in this league, Davies and Jags were sound and a special mention for Morrison, he's hardly played for a couple of years yet he looked the most composed and intelligent player on the pitch.

Just got on train from Hull back to Leeds.. absolutely beaming!

Played really well all night & if thats the shape of things to come, maybe there's brighter days ahead. Played some brilliant stuff with Morrison, Jozwiak & Sibley so dangerous roaming about, giving & going, finding space & swapping wings.

Jagielka & Baldock were definitely the missing ingredients of this team...no offence to Stearman who was very solid first 2 games but Jagielka oozes class & so dependable at the back. Massive asset to this squad. And a lot of negativity about Baldock pre-signing but his style is exactly what this line up & way of playing needs. Delighted he got his goal.

MOM though...Max Bird. Absolutely top drawer. How certain folk can't see his quality is beyond me. Magnificent going in both directions tonight.

Well done Derby, well done Rooney...must be a relief to get that winless monkey off their backs finally. Onwards & upwards ?

Don't think Shinnie was poor by any stretch tonight. But you can see his limitations as a footballer when Bird/Morrison are playing so well and dictating around him. He is what he is and he was an absolute warrior when we needed him last season.

I think what will be brilliant is when another classy player, Bielik, comes back in, it allows Morrison and Bird to have even more freedom. Then Shinnie would be a great sub towards the end of the games like tonight.
