Derby players furious with Owls boss Laws

Derby County's players are still fuming over taunts from Sheffield Wednesday boss Brian Laws, says striker Craig Fagan.

Laws claimed his lowly Championship side were favourites for the original FA Cup third round tie at Pride Park, as County prop up the Premier League.

"What Laws said was a bit insulting," said Fagan after Derby battled back from 2-0 down to force the replay.

"It was pinned up on the dressing room wall. All it does is fire us up. They will probably think they are favourites but I fancy us.

"A few Premier sides have gone out already. I imagine everyone thought we were out of it but we showed a bit of spirit which maybe we have been lacking."
