Marco Gabbiadini shares message as he weighs in on current events at Derby County

Former Derby County player Marco Gabbiadini has taken to Twitter to share his thoughts on the club’s bid for survival in the Championship.

The Rams managed to avoid losing ground on Reading yesterday as they sealed a last-gasp victory over Peterborough United at Pride Park.

Both sides were reduced to ten men in what turned out to be an incredibly tense affair.

After Hayden Coulson was shown a second yellow card for a challenge on Festy Ebosele, Derby winger Tom Lawrence was dismissed in the 47th minute by referee James Linington.

Despite this setback, the Rams continued to push for a goal in-front of their supporters.

Craig Forsyth and Luke Plange both went close to scoring for Derby before Louie Sibley fired an effort past goalkeeper Simon Benda in stoppage-time.

As a result of this victory, Derby moved up to 22nd in the Championship standings.

Reflecting on the club’s latest display on Twitter, Gabbiadini has admitted that it was a great day for everyone associated with the club.

The former Rams forward posted: “Goose bump alert!

“What a day, Rooney has got them fighting on the pitch and the fans are with them every step!”

Although Derby will need to pick up victories on a regular basis between now and the end of the season, there is no reason why they
