Analysis of Derby County's 1-1 EFL Championship draw with Portsmouth, while looking ahead to The Rams' upcoming fixtures. Featuring quotes from John Eustace.

In the driving rain on a cold Monday night at Hillsborough, the ball breaks for Liam Thompson.   He takes a touch before finding the bottom-right corner with an effort he had drilled into the ground, prompting a rush towards a rapturous away end of 3,900.   But the pain he feels as he unwittingly knee-slides on AstroTurf is nothing compared to that felt by administration-stricken Sheffield Wednesday.   Could there have been a more fitting opponent for Thompson, who broke into

It’s 0-0 with nine minutes to play. Derby and Millwall have been locked in an intensely physical battle. Scrappy doesn’t really do it justice. In a game with more aerial duels than a Battle of Britain re-enactment, Thierno Ballo wraps his foot around the ball for what must be cross number 300. As he has done countless times, Matt Clarke dives to head the ball clear, but instead it flies into the back of the net. Even captain for the evening Sondre “quicker than Mbappé” Lang

Lewis O’Brien crunched into a challenge on Ebou Adams, proceeding to get most of the midfielder, and, crucially, none of the ball. How’s that for a welcome to Wrexham?

“Nowhere near good enough” and then “great”.  It was a game of two halves (and Derby formations) according to John Eustace, as his side fell to defeat at home to Preston.
