PRE-MATCH INTERVIEW: Eustace looks ahead to Wrexham away clash

Head Coach John Eustace says his Derby County side need to be confident heading into their Sky Bet Championship encounter at Wrexham on Saturday.

The Rams fell to a 1-0 loss against Preston North End on home soil last weekend and will be looking for an immediate response against Phil Parkinson's side.

Derby have gained four points from their last two away games in the league: a 2-2 draw with Ipswich Town before the September international break and a 1-0 win against West Bromwich Albion earlier this month.

Eustace’s side will be looking to build on those foundations when they head to North Wales on Saturday (12:30pm kick-off).

The Head Coach caught up with RamsTV ahead of Saturday’s trip to Wrexham.

On the focus ahead of Wrexham…

It's important that we get back to keeping clean sheets. We had our first clean sheet at West Brom in our last away match, so we've been working on that side of things on the training pitch. Preston was our first game this season that we didn't score in since we came back for pre-season, so we've been doing a lot of attacking work as well. We’ve had a really good balance (in training) this week.

On the squad having its role to play…

We want players to come off the bench and make an impact, which we've done already this season. Over the course of the 46 league games, everyone's going to be needed. I've said it before, it's not about any individual, it's about the group effort and everyone driving each other on every day in training and keeping the standards high and fighting for that one goal.

On Saturday’s opponents...

Wrexham have had an exciting project, and they've done terrifically. They have adjusted quite well to the Championship already. We know it's going to be a difficult game. They've spent a lot of money and brought in a lot of top-quality Championship players as well. It will be a really exciting match for us, and we're really looking forward to it.

On going on the road with strong away form…

The group are confident. Home and away, we go into each game very confident. On the road, we've done well of late. The group are in a really good place and we're looking forward to the game.
