'This is the reason I'm at Derby' - Eustace

Derby County head coach John Eustace spoke to BBC Radio Derby after overseeing his first win as Rams boss, a 2-1 victory against former club Blackburn Rovers.

"This is the reason I came to the football club today - the fans were unbelievable, they were our 12th man," Eustace sad. "You can see what it's like when this place gets going and I was proud to be standing there as the head coach.

"It was about the team today. We had a difficult week - with three players (Lars-Jorgen Salvesen, Ryan Nyambe and Ben Osborn) who would have started but were injured through the week - and the group turned up yesterday and we had a new game plan.

"It's obviously an emotional day for everyone and it was a great effort by the fans, the players - this is the Derby County family and whatever happens from now until the end of the season we're going to build something special.

"I'm just glad we won a football game, it doesn't matter who it was against because it was really important that we show everyone that we are fully committed and want to do well for this football club."
