Derby County boss John Eustace spoke to BBC Radio Derby following Friday's 1-1 draw with West Bromwich Albion at Pride Park.

"It's really disappointing to concede in the last minute, I thought the lads battled and worked their socks off tonight," he said.

"Obviously, it's been a really difficult week and to get seven points out of the week is pleasing. But to be two minutes off getting nine points is of course disappointing.

"We also have to put things into context and I don't think we played particularly well tonight. We looked very leggy, we were up against a really difficult team who sat in and made it difficult for us to play. And that is probably where we needed that little bit more sharpness.

"Still, we found a way to score and in the second half we did look like a threat on the transition on a couple of occasions.

"The efforts the boys have put in for these past three games this week has been sensational, and unfortunately we just couldn't see it through in the end."
