Derby 0 - Ipswich 0: Frank Fielding a show stopper
ON-SONG Frank Fielding produced the form that once earned him an England call-up to thwart improving Ipswich.
The Derby stopper made majestic saves to deny Michael Chopra and Lee Martin in the first half.
And poor finishing from the visitors denied Town boss Paul Jewell a happy return to Pride Park.
Jewell had taken Derby down from the Premier League in 2008 but he should have marked his return with a win had it not been for the fine form of Fielding.
It was far from a classic and Derby’s best chances came from set pieces. They won 14 corners but Ipswich’s central defensive pairing Damien Delaney and Tommy Smith were equal to Ben Davies’ impressive deliveries.
