It was a huge ask for Derby County to equal or overhaul the 0-3 defeat they suffered at the Ipro on Saturday, but to the Rams credit they nearly managed it.
A goal after just 7 minutes by Johnny Russell set the Rams on the road to victory and a record upset was very much on the cards.
Hull seemed to have no answer to the Derby attack, with Andreas Wiemann leading the fight back. His pace and skill on the wing proved too tricky for Hull to deal with and had he not had to retire through injury may well have proved to have been the catalist for a famous Rams victory.
The players gave all and had it not been for a lack of concentration in the home leg in the last seconds, may have been the greatest come back in play-off history.
Derby did score a second goal before the half time break, which had Hull fans biting their nails and had Craig Bryson been just a little more lucky in sorting out his feet as a cross came in to him may well have levelled the aggregate scores on the night.
The Rams were in total control last night, the travelling fans were amazing and would have been gracing Wembley for the second time in three years had they not have had the inexplicably poor first 90 minutes.
Derby County now have to take a hard look at the squad and decide if a new manager is the way forward or if Darren Wassell gets the nod to keep the position he has had since mid February.
