Chris Riggott
Mistake by Riggott led to the only goal of a poor game
The Rams are on the brink of relegation after todays poor performance.
Derby only have themselves to blame and an uncharectoristic schoolboy error from Chris Riggott gifted Boro all three points.

The Rams looked somewhat sluggish all round the team this afternoon and where clearly no match for a Boro side that was a yard quicker to every ball.

I am not going to bore you with lines of depair and poor play by the Rams. So tonight all we can do is pray for a miricle to save Derby County's Premiership status......
