🎧 'We can compete' - Adams
- Published
After a weekend where Derby were criticised for settling for damage control in their 2-0 defeat at Leeds United, midfielder Ebou Adams praised the Rams' response at Burnley.
Derby held the promotion-chasers to a goalless draw at Turf Moor, limiting the Clarets to very few opportunities on Tuesday night.
"Look, we can actually compete," Adams told BBC Radio Derby.
"These lot [Burnley] have just come from the Premier League and we've just gone toe-to-toe with them.
"We, I thought, had the best chance with Jerry Yates so I thought we've done really well."
Burnley keeper James Trafford denied Yates a second-half winner, with the Rams striker firing the rebound into the side netting.
But the draw ended Derby's three-game losing run and edged them up into 16th place in the Championship table.
"If we were a little bit more thorough with our passes then we could have got a goal," Adams added.
