The crucial discovery came with two minutes left. Ilias Chair played the ball from the left to Lyndon Dicks, who in turn put it to his right and the unmarked Amos, the midfielder who calmly guided his finish past goalkeeper Ryan Alsop. Amos was canceled early when goalkeeper Kyren Westwood’s long-range shot was headed in by Dicks to the former Tottenham player, who passed the ball over Alsop and sent it into an empty net but was ruled offside. Luke Plantz missed a great opportunity to put Derby ahead, heading back Lawrence’s left foul to the top of the crossbar from close range.

Rooney: “I want to rebuild the Derby”

Derby coach Wayne Rooney told Sky Sports after Monday’s defeat that he wanted to stay and bring back the “happy days” at the club if the takeover was completed. However, he stressed that the precarious situation in which Derby is, leaves his position in the club doubtful. “The acquisition has to be made. If the acquisition is not made, then I’m really afraid where the club will end up,” Rooney told Sky Sports. “The future of the club is doubtful, if [the takeover] it does not happen my future is doubtful. So we have to. “If it happens [the takeover], then I want to rebuild the club. You see the fans what it means for them every week, this is a special club, a great club in which we are all proud that we are all and I want to be the one who will bring back the happy days “. He added: “It’s a complicated situation. I feel more for the players because we have collected 52 points and we would be safe now under normal conditions. “We paid the price for what the previous owner left behind. It’s not the other owner’s fault and we are paying the price. I’m sure it’s a sad day and for him because Mel Morris is a Derby fan, I’m sure he will he was disappointed. “

Warnock: “The derby will recover with new owners”

Former Cardiff City, QPR and Sheffield United manager Neil Warnock says it is vital that Derby are promoted back to the Championship next season and he is fully confident they can have a bright future with new ownership. “I think we all knew they were going to be relegated a few weeks ago,” Warnock told Sky Sports. “Wayne did well in bringing in the youngsters. They will have to rely on these youngsters next season. It is difficult for Wayne, as while receiving the praise, he will never have another job with less pressure. “Next season, they have to get a promotion. It is a great club and it will come back with new owners.”

Morrison: “Neither Pep nor Klopp could save the Derby”

Former Crystal Palace striker Clinton Morrison says Rooney had a difficult task trying to keep the Derby in the Championship and hopes they can keep the coach and “bounce back”. “It was the best team and it was unfortunate that they did not score anything, but it was the story of the Derby season,” Morrison told Sky Sports Soccer Special. “They threw a lot of things at them and I think Wayne Rooney was great, he lost key players without knowing it and you have to credit those fans – they were fantastic. “I do not live very far from there, so I go to watch a lot of Derby games and the fans have been supporting the players non-stop. He will be there next season when he is in League One. “You have to credit the young derby players too – they gave it their all. Keeping playing with three or four games is great. Tell me – who, having lost 21 points, can do that? No Even Jurgen Klopp or Pep Guardiola or Thomas Tuchel could go there and do the work that Rooney has done and they are the best. “It was an impossible task. Hopefully they can keep him and someone can buy the club and take over because it is a huge football club and you want to see them bounce straight.”
