Derby 1 - Bournemouth 0: Steve Martin boost for Rams
STEVE MCCLAREN warned Derby fans to forget about automatic promotion in his programme notes.
He will probably stick to the same story all season despite a brilliant 85th minute Chris Martin winner.
After an insipid first-half display McClaren took off John Eustace and Patrick Bamford even though the striker has scored five in seven games since arriving on loan from Chelsea.
Bournemouth, who created all the first-half chances, will feel bitter that the winner came from a controversial decision by referee Mark Heywood.
Michael Elphick stopped Will Hughes’s mazy dribble with what the Cherries claimed was a fair tackle.
They protested but before they could regain their composure, Martin curled his 20-yarder home.
