Robbie Savage has taken to social networking site Twitter to give his reaction to Derby County’s defeat to Burton Albion on Friday evening.

Derby went down 1-0 to Burton away from home at the Pirelli Stadium in the Championship.

Jackson Irvine’s goal in the 12th minute proved to be the difference between the two sides.

Former Derby midfielder Savage was following the match, and the Welshman has taken to Twitter to give his reaction to the final result.

The former Wales international has claimed that the Rams should not have sacked Nigel Clough as the manager.

Clough, now in charge of Burton, was the manager of Derby from January 2009 until September 2013.
