Derby started the match very brightly with the Rams having some very good chances, Craig Bryson had a chance with only 2 minutes gone, Slocombe the Scunthorpe keeper made some very good saves denying Theo Robinson. Others had their chances to with Will Hughes having a good effort on goal but yet again the keeper made a very good save. But Derby did score with Michael Jacobs whipping in a corner and Richard Keogh was there to head the ball home. Then a couple of minutes after Derby got another goal to make it 2-0 this time Jake Buxton heading the ball home, the Rams finally got their 3rd goal of the game with Theo Robinson scoring from a Michael Jacobs flick, Derby looked very comfortable with Scunthorpe hardly threatening at all. Will Hughes was Derby's best player in the first half with some great touches on the ball, the 17 year old has settled in the first team very well and looks to have a good future ahead of him. So at half time it was 3-0 Derby, but that wasn't the end of it.
