Derby County 1-0 Middlesbrough: Jackson earns Derby win over Boro

Derby head coach Paul Warne on the win and the performance of Josh Vickers following the signing of fellow keeper Jacob Widell Zetterstrom:

“I think we rode our luck at times. I’m not pretending that we didnt, but to win games of football there are a lot of things that come into it.

“We win 1-0 at home and our best player is Josh Vickers. Everything he did today was bang on the money and that’s why I brought him to the club, he’s an amazing goalkeeper.

“I’ll speak to the coaches and the goalkeeping coach, I’ll watch Jacob train this week. I’m always the same, I’m always fair on my players and the best players play.

“They are both very good goalkeepers, which is why I brought Josh to the club and Jacob to the club – and he can sell calendars. He is one handsome man, we’ve bought the Swedish James Bond!”

Middlesbrough head coach Michael Carrick:

“Starting the game, we weren’t totally at it. There were a couple of bits of sloppy play and then the goal, it’s not easy to pull that back.

“We tried, we did some good things at times, created chances and the longer the game goes it becomes frustrating, so obviously disappointed with the result.

“It’s no surprise as to how the game panned out, we couldn’t do enough today to claw it back, we gave ourselves too much to do.

“We were off it in a couple of moments at the beginning of the game and we’ve definitely got to get better at that and be a bit more ruthless and smarter at how we start the game, but we’ll get there.”
