Allsop 6 - little to do but did it

Jagielka 7 - solid, solid, solid

Davies - 7.5 solid as well, an extra half for getting Joz out the poo and starting the bounce at the end 

Forsyth - 6 Fine, one or two loose balls/clearances but no problem

Jozwiak 7 - had a good game, working hard going back and forward. We won't mention that moment thought. 

Williams - 6 got into some good positions, sometimes with acres of space ahead of him he needs to take his man on

Shinnie - 6.6 steady and dogged as always

Bird - 6.5 same really, some nice passing between the lines

Knight - 7 here, there and everywhere

Lawrence - 7 another good performance from the skipper, he's on a good run atm

Plange - 8 go on, have the man of the match, not just for the winner but his all round play and movement (dropping in, playing on the shoulder , hassling the centre halves, taking up good positions) was very good. 

Shinnie 6.6 ?

Allsop -7

Jagielka -7 

Davies -7.5

Forsyth -7

Jozwiak -7.5 (Seemed to fit that position very well  

Williams -7 (if his crossing had been better we would have walked it easier) 

Shinnie -7 

Bird - 8  (Such an underrated player) 

Knight - 8 (Would hate to lose him in January as he brings so much to the side) 

Lawrence - 6.5  (I’ve taken 0.5 off for all the berating of Williams he was doing when actually it was Lawrence’s passes that were woeful!) 

Plange -8.5. MOTM and his best game for Derby ever, so scores higher on the points front. Loved his all round movement, closing down, fight, the many many runs into space he made that should have been rewarded!) Playing like that he has a bright future.
