A predictable scoreless draw was the result for Derby County at the weekend. Their hosts Barnsley and the Rams failed to set the match alight but Rams boss Nigel Clough was happy with the draw, which takes the Rams closer to Championship safety.
The Rams kept the Tykes down to just one shot on target all game and now Clough wants to maintain that defensive form and would like to see his squad go undefeated in the final games of the season.
Derby now sit seven points clear of the third relegtion place with just nine points left to fight over. So barring a complete disaster in the final games the Rams will be enjoying another season in the Championship next season...
