RAMS RATINGS
KELLE ROOS 5
His heavy touch when Derby tried to play out from a goal kick gifted the ball to Bournemouth for their equaliser. Poor mistake, poor goal. Steady second half and showed good handling on a couple of occasions. Made an important save late on.
FESTY EBOSELE 7
Showed power and desire throughout. A strong all-round performance and received a standing ovation when he was replaced late on.
PHIL JAGIELKA 7
Defended solidly against a good Bournemouth team.
CURTIS DAVIES 7
Was involved in the poor goal conceded that saw Bournemouth make it 1-1, but stuck to his task defensivly.
LEE BUCHANAN 7
The left-back showed plenty of determination in his defensive work and attacking work.
MAX BIRD 7
Looked to get on the ball whenever he could and keep it moving. Add to that his hard work off the ball.
GRAEME SHINNIE 7
Had a good chance just before the break but fired his shot over. Typically hard-working display and won Derby’s penalty.
LIAM THOMPSON 7
A confident, promising League debut from the 19-year-old midfielder. Tenacious in his work, neat on the ball and kept it simple. Not afraid to run with the ball and put opponents on the back foot.
JASON KNIGHT 8
Bags of energy, running and determination, and headed the Rams in front with his first goal of the season.
TOM LAWRENCE 8.5
Outstanding in the second half, played a real captain’s role. He scored a brilliant goal to make it 2-2, a top-drawer finish, exquisite, and then kept his nerve to convert a penalty to put his team ahead.
SAM BALDOCK 6
A bright start from the striker but injury foced him off after 22 minutes.
