Rams winger Nathaniel Mendez-Laing also sat down with RamsTV ahead of Tuesday evening's match.
He said: "We just need to keep doing the same things. The lads are all working hard, pressing together and helping each other out. We are playing forward and with confidence so we need to keep doing what we're doing and being ruthless in front of goal."
