To be fair to the people who love to put Derby down at every opportunity, even die hard Rams fans didn't expect more than a two or three goal loss last night.
Was the spark the arrival of Nigel Clough, or did the Derby County players want to show the football world that they are good players . Maybe it was the pre-match interview with Clough, who takes over officially as manager today, that sparked a few of the players into action. Clough has promised to reduce the size of the squad at Derby, something his predecessor Paul Jewell also promised but failed to do.

It has to be said that master tactician Sir Alex Ferguson made a big mistake by playing some of the 'lesser' players at Manchester United for this game and it was good to see the Rams forcing the arrival of Ronaldo, Rooney on the hour mark, but try as they might they couldn't stop a memorable win for the Rams. Just a shame now we have to do it all again on Tuesday 20th January, which incidentally is Steve Bloomers Birthday, so lets hope we can give him a present to remember...
