Post-Match Verdict: 'A Massive Relief!' - Adams

Midfielder Ebou Adams admitted it was a ‘massive relief’ to see Derby County grab all three points with a last-minute victory over Stevenage to retain second spot in Sky Bet League One.

Substitute Louie Sibley scored in the final minute of normal time to earn Paul Warne’s side a vital 1-0 win at Pride Park Stadium.

Adams, who joined Derby on loan from Championship side Cardiff City in January, has impressed in his opening four appearances in a Derby shirt in recent weeks.

Moments after the final whistle against Stevenage, Adams caught up with RamsTV to discuss the win and his time with Derby so far.

On the win…

I think the result speaks for itself. I am going to enjoy my weekend after that, and I hope everyone else does as well! Getting a few knocks and bumps is all worth it to get the win for the team. Hopefully we can keep pushing forward.

On the performance…

I think we could have played better in the first half and moved the ball quicker, myself included. The gaffer spoke to us at half-time and we knew what we needed to do in the second half. We kept pushing and we knew we could get a chance to get the win. It was a great finish from Sibs, and it was a massive relief to see it go in!

On backing themselves as players to find a way to win…

We always back ourselves. We knew we’d get a chance to win it. We’ve got a great bunch of lads and excellent players as well. I felt we dominated the second half today and, for me, it was only a matter of time before we scored.

On how quickly the fans have taken to him…

It is nice to hear! It makes me feel better. I can only thank for the fans for making me feel great; it makes me play the way I do. If I didn’t have the lads and the staff, I wouldn’t be playing like I am. I hope it can continue, because I am really enjoying it. Everyone has made me feel so welcome. From day one, I have felt like I am at home. Everyone at Derby County has allowed me to focus on my football. It makes me feel unbelievable. Consistency for me is important, if I can keep performing, I will be buzzing.
