Former Derby County hero Craig Bryson says Rams boss Wayne Rooney worked wonders at the club this season, and their relegation from the Championship was harsh.
County fell to the third tier of English football for the first time since 1986 on April 18 when Queen's Park Rangers ran out 1-0 winners.
A 12-point deduction for entering administration, caused by historical mismanagement that occurred under former owner Mel Morris, followed by a nine-point penalty on November 16 for breaking EFL accounting rules, meant the Rams were docked 21 points in total, which they were fighting a losing battle to overcome.
