JED STEER

Made a couple of good saves, but beaten twice and Derby could have had more. 6

TOMMY SMITH

Produced a gutsy defensive display and got in some good crosses. 7

JAMES HUSBAND

Always busy against a swift home side and responded with a committed show. 7

MARTIN CRANIE

Came into the back four for Joel Lynch and got in some important touches. 8

MARK HUDSON

The skipper stuck to his task, but was given a tough time by the home forwards. 6

KYLE DEMPSEY

Handed the Jonathan Hogg berth and started well but tailed off later on. 6

DEAN WHITEHEAD

A driving force for Town and showed why he was such a key player before injury. 8

Sky Bet Championship - Derby County (2) v Huddersfield Town (0) - Joe Lolley and Tom Ince.

JOE LOLLEY

Always willing and always hungry for the ball, but unable to produce an end product. 7

JAMIE PATERSON

Like Lolley, he looked capable of unlocking Derby’s defence, but couldn’t do it. 7

HARRY BUNN

Struggled to get into this game and was the first Town man substituted. 5

NAHKI WELLS

Town’s top scorer had little to feed off and this was a quiet afternoon for him. 6

Substitutes:

Karim Matmour (for Bunn, 63mins) 5

Elvis Manu (for Lolley, 77) 6

Flo Bojaj (for Paterson, 90) 5.

Not used: Jason Davidson, Ishmael Miller, Duane Holmes, Lloyd Allinson.
