The sense of relief at The Hawthorns on Bank Holiday Monday filtered through from Derby County supporters after their emotions and celebrations had died down. The scenes in the Smethwick End throughout the game from the 2,542 Rams fans echoed around the stadium. Derby's third away victory was timely and crucial as four out of the five teams vying not to occupy the bottom three all won. When that sense of reality dawned, the result was quickly filed and thoughts about the final two matches ensued.
Derby County: How has John Eustace transformed the Rams?

Mar 12, 2025 | bbc.com | Ed Dawes

John Eustace has spoken about the "hard work on the training pitch" often since arriving at Derby County. In the past two games we have all seen the rebirth of the squad he inherited, who have produced two performances unimaginable at the start of 2025. Even the players bereft of confidence, commitment and quality have found another level. It is easy to say loan players aren't as committed than those on a contract, just ask Marcus Harness about that.
BBC Radio Derby commentator Ed Dawes on what's going wrong at the Rams

Feb 24, 2025 | bbc.com | Ed Dawes

The baptism of fire new Derby County head coach John Eustace has walked into has all the hallmarks of someone buying a car and then realising it is a cut and shut. The Rams are unable to move away from the relegation zone in the Championship because nobody can find the accelerator to park the car in the garage, or goal. Cars aside, the job in hand for Eustace will certainly be the hardest in his managerial career.
Derby County: Rams look to avoid another unwanted record

Feb 3, 2025 | bbc.com | Ed Dawes

By 5pm on Saturday evening, Derby County had equalled an unwanted record. Seven straight league defeats for the first time since that Premier League season in 2007-08 in which they registered a record low 11 points. By November 2007 it was clear that Billy Davies' team were woefully down on the levels of quality needed to compete in the top flight.
'Cashin bled black and white'

Feb 1, 2025 | sports.yahoo.com | Ed Dawes

Eiran Cashin's departure from Derby County sees another academy graduate leave the club with hopes to make a Premier League living. Brighton's gain is Derby's loss with a huge hole left by the 23-year-old heart on the sleeve individual. He has literally bled black and white ever since making his full debut under Wayne Rooney in 2021.
Derby's downward spiral shows no sign of abating - analysis

Jan 27, 2025 | sports.yahoo.com | Ed Dawes

Like winning, losing becomes a habit. Derby County have now lost six straight games in the Championship and the downward spiral shows no sign of abating. For many looking on, the 'rinse and repeat' nature of the Rams results since Boxing Day is alarming. The goals conceded at Cardiff City were again of Derby's own making. Ball retention has been a real issue when put under pressure by the opposition. Panic sets in and the ball is released or a risky pass doesn't come off.
