Derby County midfielder Max Bird spoke to RamsTV following Saturday's 2-1 Sky Bet Championship victory over Reading.

He continued: “They didn’t want Bird & Rooney getting involved in the build up and Wisdom was the spare man. It meant we could be more creative in the final third. When he stepped in more, another player from Reading had to step out & we could get in the final third.” #DCFCvRFC https://t.co/VkYCTd47jf

On the game: Cocu said: “I think it was positive today. They got back into the game and we couldn’t play our favourite game we wanted to. We went a little bit more defensive but we needed it and it’s a good three points.” #DCFCvRFC https://t.co/wNNzRsEEWQ

On the red card incident, Cocu said: “It’s something I’m disappointed about. After a win and great goal he scored, this cannot happen and lets the team down. He is an important player for us and he has to keep control.” #DCFCvRFC https://t.co/mwPhUOsQGA
