Derby performances are 'depressing'

BBC Radio Derby commentator Ed Dawes says watching the Rams is "depressing" following their 1-0 defeat to Sheffield United on Saturday.

The defeat, sealed by Ben Brereton Diaz's first goal in his second spell for the Blades, left the Rams in the Championship relegation places, with fans voicing their displeasure during the second-half and at full-time towards head coach Paul Warne.

"Derby didn't really cause them any issues," Dawes said on Rams Daily following the club's seventh consecutive league defeat.

"It's seven straight league defeats, playing the same way, no change up, different personnel.

"If you take the [FA Cup third-round defeat on penalties by] Leyton Orient, that's eight games in a row - how can that continue?

"The product is no good, it's depressing people. They [the fans] sang it in the South Stand and they're doing that at home and everyone's here, the Chief Executive, the owner.

"The fans have spoken- they need to be listened to."
