Derby Ratings 

Legzdins: 7

Didn't have much to do, but when he did he didn't do anything wrong. Was unlucky not to save the penalty. 

Brayford-9

Had a very good game,his best game this season. Linked up well with Coutts and scored a great goal.

O'Conner-7

Had a tidy game,didn't really have much to do at the back.

Keogh-7

Also had a tidy game, again didn't need to do much. 

Roberts-7

Did well with the back 4, managed to stop Phillips and Ince on the wing. 

Coutts-9

Set up 3 of the goals, put in some very good crosses. He is starting to become a very important player for the Rams.

Hendrick-7

Had a much improved game, didn't lose the ball as much in the centre of the park and got stuck in. 

Bryson-7

Again had a very good game, never stopped running and closed down Blackpool's midfield very well.

Hughes-7

The 17 year old keeps improving game by game, also looked good on the ball. 

Robinson-9

Scored 2 goals for the Rams, the second one was a good run and finish. Also linked well with Sammon and is starting the form a good partnership. 

Sammon-7

Had a good game, scored a goal which will boost his confidence. Can he get even more goals this season?
