North End manager Ryan Lowe said: “Liam got caught on the wrong side. In the rule back it says that is a red card, so I’m not going to argue.
"He needs to not get done on that side and be in a position where he had to do something stupid.
"I thought the lads equipped themselves well after the sending-off, we look solid and resolute.

“But the reverse happened, it went the other way and Derby got into the ascendancy and found a way to win it.”
With regards Bird’s red card, Lowe said: “I haven’t seen it back yet. Ben was alright after it, whether it was high or not I'll have to see.”
Derby boss Wayne Rooney had few complaints about his midfielder’s sending-off.

“He's made a challenge, he has gone for the ball, he has felt he can win it, and sometimes you mistime tackles, I don't know, but that is what it looked like.
“Unfortunate for him, but these things happen in football.”
