Sheffield Wednesday rounded-off their League One regular season with a confident 1-0 win over 10-man Derby County after Smith’s first half penalty proved to be enough as the Rams faltered in their attempts to creep into the play-off places.
It’s Peterborough United, then. Strap in!
Derby threw the lot at Wednesday who held firm thanks to committed defending and a stellar performance between the sticks from Cam Dawson.

![One crashing ball recovery and drive into midfield was vintage Vaulks, as was an effort from range early in the second half that saw the post rattled. Threaded things together nicely. And as is far from unusual, made more tackles than anyone else.](https://www.thestar.co.uk/webimg/b25lY21zOmIwYjJlNzc5LTUxNjEtNDhmMy05MTY1LWE4NjI2YTg3ODI0Njo5MzI4NGIxMC1iYmE1LTQ1YzgtOTJjMi00Mzc2ZWNiMWNjYTA=.jpg?crop=3:2&trim=&width=800)

![In for his first start in 11, the midfield man set about trying to break from midfield. A slightly bumbled touch cost him a great chance while doing exactly that within the first 10 and he followed it up with a bright and powerful run. A little naive in moments but there was no shortage in effort or glimpses of what he can offer.](https://www.thestar.co.uk/webimg/b25lY21zOmRkZDZhZmRjLTZlYmMtNGE3Ni05ODg2LTIxZDAyNTU2ZTAxODoyM2M4NDdkMi0wNGQzLTRmOGUtOGU0YS1kMzg5OGNiMDVjY2I=.jpg?crop=3:2&trim=&width=800)

![Jumped on the pedal from the start, attempting to put Dele-Bashiru in behind early doors. Enjoyed popping it around with his pals for decent periods and curled one just wide early in the second half. The respect given to him by Derby was palpable. Tireless.](https://www.thestar.co.uk/webimg/b25lY21zOjI3NDc0MzdjLTcyYWEtNDJmNi05ZTQzLTdkZjJkZDJkNDg1NDo5YTBhMmM5OC1kNzE1LTQ3YWItODIzNy0xY2Y1YzA4ZWQyOTQ=.jpg?crop=3:2&trim=&width=800)
