Ian Holloway didn't hold back as he criticised Derby's first-leg display against Hull.

Sky Sports pundit Ian Holloway wants to see Derby show some fighting spirit in their Championship play-off second leg against Hull City.

Derby trail 3-0 after capitulating in the first leg at the iPro Stadium on Saturday and even though Holloway thinks the Rams' chances of a comeback are unlikely, what he really wants to see is some spirit from the Derby players.

The former Millwall, Crystal Palace and Blackpool boss was speaking after Brighton's 1-1 draw with Sheffield Wednesday on Monday evening, when the Seagulls failed to reach the Wembley final but showed plenty of spirit nonetheless.

Hull, who finished five points above Derby in the regular season, were one of the favourites for promotion at the start of the campaign, but the manner in which they brushed their opponents aside in the first leg was "too easy", according to Holloway.
