STEVE McClaren felt his Derby County side never looked in trouble during their Championship clash with Bolton Wanderers.
The Rams won 2-0 at the Macron Stadium, thanks to a brace from striker Chris Martin either side of half-time.
Martin had earlier seen a penalty saved by home keeper Andy Lonergan.
"We could have won by more but in terms of how we controlled the game, I don't think we looked in trouble," said McClaren.
"They (Bolton) are bound to have spells but we dealt with that, played good football and kept the ball.
"It took us a while to get over the penalty miss but once we did and got the goal, we looked like certain winners."
