Derby County staged a thrilling comeback to secure a victory against Chesterfield in the Carabao Cup clash under the floodlights on Tuesday night.

In a rematch that carried a backstory of a 4-0 defeat against Chesterfield in the pre-season, Paul Warne’s Derby side found themselves behind once again at Pride Park when Armando Dobra put the visitors ahead. However, the Rams showed resilience with a sensational equalizer by Liam Thompson and later grabbed the lead through Kayden Jackson’s first goal for Derby.

This hard-fought win posed more questions for Warne and the fans, despite the deserving victory. The spotlight was on young talent Dajaune Brown, who made his presence felt as a standout in attack. Though receiving mixed reviews from the Derby faithful on social media, Brown’s performance was notable, contributing to Thompson’s goal and showcasing glimpses of his potential.

Considering Brown’s development, a loan move to a lower league, possibly League Two, could provide him with the regular game time needed to mature his skills further. While he could serve as an impact player for Derby this season, a successful loan spell could pave the way for a stronger return to the first team next year.
