Nigel Clough knew his side were second best at the Liberty as they fell to Fede's late strike

The Derby manager saw his side outclassed in every department on the night and said after the game

"We defended reasonably well for 80 minutes, but we are not quite in the mentality to see it through.

"We were not good enough going forward and gave the ball away far, far too many times. We couldn't put two passes together all evening.

"We have to take some of our home form and home play into the away games. Confidence is a big factor."
