It was a bit of both

They were s**te, but our use of the ball was excellent. Miles better than early in the season.

Pinged balls to Musaba and brooks consistently found them and were controlled brilliantly. Maghoma’s mix of running and defence splitting passing was very difficult to deal with. Musaba and brooks dovetailed well with the full backs, with both wingers working hard to defend when needed.

Derby made it relatively easy by being awful, but we exploited that v well. They were awful last season too and we lost that one.
