PAUL Warne held up Ipswich Town as the blueprint for what he is trying to achieve at Derby County after they became the latest victim of the Suffolk side’s success.
Derby’s head coach hailed Ipswich as the best in League One as goals from Conor Chaplin and George Hirst made it seven straight wins for the visitors.
The home side were just starting to grow into the game when they were hit by a classic counter-attack in the 17th minute.
Christian Walton’s throw released Nathan Broadhead who crossed for Wes Burns to head down and Chaplin fired in his 20th of the season in all competitions.
Ipswich had not conceded in seven games but that record should have ended when Nathaniel Mendez-Laing crossed to the back post but David McGoldrick headed into the side netting.
Derby thought they had scored in the 49th minute only for the referee to rule out Eiran Cashin’s header from a corner for a foul on Walton.
That was as close as Derby came as Ipswich burst forward in the 76th minute and, after Burns was denied by Joe Wildsmith, Hirst drove in the rebound.
