The Rams take on the Bluebirds at Pride Park Stadium in their final game of the season.

There are four changes to the Derby County team to face Cardiff City in their final game of the season. So those two are out." There is no Nathan Byrne in the squad.

Derby County ended their 2021/22 Sky Bet Championship campaign with a 1-0 defeat against Cardiff City at Pride Park Stadium.

Rooney’s third and final change came with 20 minutes remaining as goalkeeper Ryan Allsop was replaced by Kelle Roos but the Rams were struggling to create a chance to get back into the game. But, ten minutes into the second half, the Rams fell behind as striker Hugill gave Cardiff City the lead. He picked up the ball 25 yards from goal, and with little options around him, he curled towards goal but Phillips made a good diving save to his left to tip his effort wide.

Derby County have exceeded all expectations to pick up 55 points from 45 games heading into their final encounter of the season this afternoon.

“So it is important the fans stay in the stands and allow us to show our appreciation because we really do want to show them how much they have meant to us this season.” “The players and the staff at the end of the game want to show our appreciation to the fans and walk round the pitch to show our thanks to what they have brought to us all season. The Rams would be 14 points clear of the bottom three heading into the last game if it was not for the 21 points they have had deducted, and it looks likely that Rooney will stay put to fight for promotion next season, if their off-pitch situation takes care of itself.

Tom Lawrence came closest to opening the scoring in a first half of few chances, with his strike in injury time clipping the outside of the post. Cardiff ...

The Rams were defeated on the final day of the season in a campaign that has finished in relegation despite an admirable fight throughout.

The Rams were looking for an instant response, Luke Plange’s inviting cross into the box found an unmarked Craig Forsyth, but the fullback sliced his shot into the hands of Phillips. The fierce opening to the game on the pitch was overshadowed by the deafening noise from the home fans, who were in full party atmosphere for their final game in the Championship. Wayne Rooney’s men spurned numerous chances in the game and were left frustrated by the Bluebirds in their final game in the Championship.

Cardiff City manager Steve Morison told BBC Sport Wales: "We knew they'd have a lot of the ball, they've done excellent, it was very much like the game against ...

However, according to the Daily Mail, the prospective new owner only has the funds to keep the club going for the next two years, which they claim means Derby could ‘still face future financial problems if his takeover is completed’. Part of that has seen Kirchner show proof of funds to the EFL to outline that he will be able to run the club effectively in the future.

There is every chance that he could be off this summer – but his loyalty in their time of need will not be forgotten. He has fired in the goals when they have needed them and has been completely influential in attack for the club. It hasn’t been enough to get Derby out of the relegation zone and they will be playing in League One in the next campaign.

Cardiff keeper Dillon Phillips made three saves in a goalless first half to deny Liam Thompson, Tom Lawrence and Louie Sibley. The visitors took the lead after ...

Saw a shot in the first half saved by Phillips. He is one of a number of players out of contract this summer. Strong first half from the left back who pushed forward as much as possible to supplement attacks. Calm, composed and strong in his work at the heart of the defence. Kept working and looking to make things happen. Derby had around 70% possession and he kept the team ticking.
