Derby missed an opportunity to solidify their position in the intensifying Championship play-off race with a 0-0 draw against Stoke City last night.
Frank Lampard’s side remain in that all-important sixth place in the table but Bristol City have a game in hand and lurk just a point and a place behind.
There will be plenty more twists and turns in this play-off race but Derby will need to be more clinical if they are to push themselves to the front of the queue.
But the good news is that they are creating chances and on another night they would have secured the win with relative ease against Nathan Jones’ side, who were disappointing.

The supporters have seen their side falter at the final hurdle so many times through the years and while their recent wobble would make it easy to assume the same thing is happening this term, the fans who watched the game knew that their performance merited more.
That’s why these fans are not panicking – just yet – because they saw an impressive performance of heart and creativity and we’ve put together the best of some impressively calm reaction…
