Eustace says Derby must stop conceding 'sloppy goals'
Derby boss John Eustace is unhappy with his side's defending [Getty Images] Derby County manager John Eustace claims the Rams must defend better after they narrowly lost a see-saw match 3-2 at Coventry City. Ben Brereton Diaz twice levelled for promotion-chasing Derby before Jack Rudoni netted a late winner for Coventry and Eustace was unhappy with his side's defending for all three Sky Blues goals. He told BBC Radio Derby: "I thought the whole team performance was very good.
The three goals we conceded were really poor from our part and it's something, moving forward, we've got to stop doing, especially when we got to back to 2-2, I thought we could go and win it. "We've conceded really sloppy goals, not doing the basics, tracking runners and not defending well enough. "It's just not good enough.
We could have a lot more points this season if we had done it for the whole 95 minutes and we spoke about that in the dressing room. But we still can't take away from the effort of the group today. "You look at the players they're bringing on to make changes in that second half and we've still gone toe to toe with them.
We're really disappointed we haven't won the game and the way we played in the first half was excellent. " Latest Derby County news, analysis and fan views Listen to Derby County content on BBC Sounds
