It extended Derby's impressive run of form, with a penalty shootout loss to Liverpool in the Carabao Cup the only defeat they have suffered in 16 games."We can back ourselves here [at Pride Park]. We want to keep this run going."Bird was talking to BBC Radio Derby before the Rams were drawn to play West Ham in the next round, but said they would "try and win the game" no matter the calibre of opposition and that they craved another "big" cup tie.
Derby kept a fifth successive clean sheet in getting through to the fourth round, which Bird says has the Rams "buzzing".
