Derby County boss Nigel Clough bemoans poor decisions in loss to Hull City

Derby County boss Nigel Clough feels that a poor decision by referee Robert Madley cost his side a point in their game against Hull City.

The Tigers won 2-1 thanks to a late goal by Ahmed Elmohamady but Clough believes that there was clear handball in the build-up to the Egyptian's 87th-minute strike.

Clough told reporters: "That's two major decisions in four days that have gone against us.

"It would have been a thoroughly deserved point. It was a very good away performance at one of the favourites for promotion and I can't ask any more from our players whatsoever."

The Rams are currently 10th in the Championship, eight points adrift of the playoff places.
