That just about sums Derby up after a decent enough first ten minutes.

There are a couple of misplaced passes in the middle of the park and the ball is played straight out of play for a Fulham throw in.

"C'mon Derby" is the chant around Craven Cottage from the travelling fans.

They can see their side are second best at the moment.

Fulham have another corner. Chris Baird has to put the ball out against his former side, but it's cleared.

A bit sloppy that from Tim Ream, the Fulham defender taking too much time as the last man and almost having his pocket picked by Matej Vydra.

Denis Odoi comes to Fulham's rescue and clears.

Wolves did it tough at times, surviving some intense Reading pressure, but they left the Madejski Stadium with a victory that returns them to the Championship summit.

Nuno Espirito Santo told BBC WM: "We knew we were playing against a good team, one that causes a lot of problems. They are a team that changed their shape to play against us, so we had to find solutions.

"One of them was to defend well. The boys did well. When you see a player throw their body in front of the ball, that is commitment.

"In the first half we played more like how we play, we had good possession, good creatively and good combinations for the goal and to create chances. In the second half, we knew they would go for it."

Derby will have to show a bit more in attack now. They have flitted between pressing high and having to drop deep.

But they will have to open up a bit more at some point to get back in this.

Oliver Norwood crashes the ball towards goal from more than 30 yards and David Nugent handles in the wall so there is another free-kick, this time on the edge of the area.

Some more impressive pressing by Derby forces Fulham to go long and a flat pass forward goes straight through to keeper Scott Carson.

Now there is a free-kick in a promising position for the hosts, after Rui Fonte is bundled over by Curtis Davies.

Another Fulham corner. Ryan Sessegnon with it.

This time there's no messing but the end result is the same with the ball easily cleared.

Fulham have a corner but play it short and get in a mess, losing possession.

It appears as though a break is on but then Derby make it a mess of that too.

It's gone a bit scrappy all of a sudden.

Richard Keogh has his detractors, but his no-nonsense approach and organisational skills were sorely missed in Derby's defeat against Reading.

The Rams skipper seems to be one of those players who make others play better. One burst from the back leads to nothing but we saw a glimpse of the threat that Tom Lawrence's pace can pose.

Tom Cairney is looking smooth with the ball at feet for the hosts. And he has plenty of willing runners and pace out wide.

Derby are sitting deeper and deeper - or are being made to sit deeper and deeper. Depending on your viewpoint.

It's Fulham who are getting on top now, pressing high and winning possession in dangerous areas.

A couple of threatening situations come to nothing. But Derby cannot get hold of the ball right now.

What was I saying? A brilliant one-handed save from Derby keeper Scott Carson keeps out Floyd Ayite's header from close range.

Fulham keep possession and probe and probe on the edge of the Derby area. But the Rams keep their shape.

No way through. Gary Rowett's men look solid. You can see why they are unbeaten in four on the road.

Ryan Sessegnon stretches his legs on the left flank for Fulham. He's just 17 remember, but looks such a talent. Nothing comes of a promising break.

Immediately the ball goes to the other end and Tomas Kalas almost lets in David Nugent with a bit of casual defending.

No chances early on. But both teams look bright and lively.

Derby have been accused of being too defensive under Gary Rowett. It will be interesting to see if they show good ambition here.

But nothing doing. Derby clear the set-piece.

Derby look busy in attack, not allowing the hosts to settle in possession at all.

If Fulham get their passing game going this might suit the Londoners. It might leave some space for them.

The hosts have a corner.

David Nugent's eyes lit up there, as he ran free down the left flank. But the Derby man was offside. Derby having a decent amount of the ball early on here.
