Nottingham Forest defender Steve Cook has received a response from Derby County fans after mocking the Rams as they missed out on a place in the League One play-offs.

Derby suffered a heart-breaking end to the campaign on Sunday after losing 1-0 to Sheffield Wednesday, meaning they were pipped to a top-six spot by Peterborough United and face another season in the third tier of English football.

Curtis Davies was sent off after conceding a penalty, which Michael Smith converted towards the end of the first half, and that settled the contest in the Owls' favour. The result saw Paul Warne's side miss out on a play-off position by just a single point.

And the result at Hillsborough left Cook amused. The centre-back - who did not make Forest's Premier League squad for the second half of this season - tweeted: "Wait. Derby" followed by two laughing emojis.

Here's what Derby fans have said on social media in reaction to Cook's tweet...

Joe Malone: Weird tweet for someone who can't get a game in a team of 60 players.

1884Rams: Here we have a 32-year-old professional footballer who can't even get in the squad so has to tweet things like this about fellow professionals for attention. Classy.

dcfc_02: You literally aren't even registered.

Charlie: Championship next season for u and it's embarrassing considering how much money was spent on so many average players. Should never have gone up in the first place as Huddersfield were robbed of at least 1 penalty.

Matt Daykin: Not even registered to play - back to your level - maybe Westfield.

Blake Fallows: Sat at home not even in the squad so you have to do this for attention. Fair play like, not nice being out the spotlight.

Toshisaram: Steve Cook, so good his registration was removed for Jonjo Shelvey. Some player you must be.

Luke: Try getting on the pitch not played in Prem since October.
