Head Coach Paul Warne says he experienced a 'rollercoaster' of emotions in Derby County's 4-2 victory over Peterborough United on Saturday.
Derby fell behind early to a Jonson Clarke-Harris goal but a hat-trick from Martyn Waghorn and a header from Eiran Cashin turned the game on its head before the break and, although Kwame Poku pulled a goal back late on, it cemented a massive three points for the Rams on the road.
Speaking to RamsTV after the final whistle, Warne gave his verdict on the victory.
On the result...
I'm quite exhausted, it was an emotional rollercoaster on the side of the pitch. To go a goal down in the manner we did was disappointing but the reaction off the lads was really good and possibly what could go right did go right for us. I'm over the moon for Waggy, he's an amazing human and brilliant around the dressing room and training pitch. His play befits getting hat-tricks. In the second half we managed the game pretty well. All in all, I'm pleased and with a decent following it's nice for everyone to bounce up and down!
On the quality of goals...
If you interview Cash, he will say I've been telling him all week how he's going to score so obviously I've got some special skills! We need everyone to chip in offensively and there were some good goals today but our effort out of possession was right up there too. There were pockets of really good play and we created enough chances to win the game. I fancy us to outscore most teams and I thank the fans that stayed with the team at 1-0 down because it had a massive impact.
On his pre-match feeling that today was going to be a good day...
Bringing new players into a club always has an impact. The standard of training has been really good and we haven't had a midweek game. I felt that with a week's training and with an extra day's rest, along with the new lads coming in, gave me a good feeling.
The lads have been really good this week. In all four games before today in the league we could have won them all in my opinion. We could have lost them too so they come down to those little moments all the time.
Sometimes there isn't a lot between the boxes, it just comes down to those big moments.
On the new signings getting minutes...
They went on with full confidence and hopefully the fans can appreciate why I've brought both players in. JJ was ledge at Ipswich on loan last year and he's been unfortunate with injuries. Hopefully we can get him fit and resilient and hopefully his long-term future can be at our club.
Fornah has a real engine and wants to play. He had a brilliant season at Reading last year on loan and I loved him at Plymouth too when he was there. I've been moaning for weeks that we need legs in our team and I think both of them have it.
On Louie Sibley's injury...
He felt his groin in training. I'd guess at 3-4 weeks out but I don't know the severity because he hasn't been scanned yet, so it's disappointing.
On the upcoming week ahead of the Transfer Deadline...
They players got Monday off because they scored off a set-piece and over the course of the week we'll try and improve the starting eleven if we can and try and keep everyone in the building.
