Derby County manager Paul Warne faces a crucial decision this month after his team’s rocky start to the season. The recent 4-2 defeat to Blackburn Rovers highlighted defensive vulnerabilities, sparking concern among fans about the team’s prospects in the Championship.

Despite making eight new signings, including standout player Kenzo Goudmijn, there are doubts about the team’s overall strength. The subsequent 2-1 victory over Chesterfield in the Carabao Cup saw young talent Dajaune Brown given a chance to impress, with mixed reactions from fans.

Warne praised Brown’s performance but hinted at the possibility of sending him out on loan for more experience. Considering the tough season ahead, it may be best for Brown’s development to gain regular playing time elsewhere, potentially in League Two.

While Brown has potential, he may not be ready for the demands of Championship football just yet. A season on loan could give him the necessary experience to compete for a starting position in the future, rather than a backup role.
