Derby County’s recent signing, Kayden Jackson, has expressed his views on the team’s performance under Paul Warne in the current 2024/25 campaign. The Rams have had a decent start in the Championship, securing a 12th position as they wrap up the second international break. While their home games at Pride Park have been strong, their away performances haven’t quite matched up, with four consecutive losses on the road.
The success at the beginning of the season can be attributed to the new additions to Warne’s squad, especially midfielders David Ozoh and Kenzo Goudmijn. Jackson, a notable acquisition from Ipswich Town, has settled in well at Derby, contributing four goals so far.
Reflecting on the season so far, Jackson mentioned, “We’ve made an okay start, we could have been better and there’s a couple of games we could have done worse so it’s about finding a balance.” He emphasized the team’s confidence and ambition, stating, “We are not here to settle. There’s still a lot of learning, growing as a group to do. We want to be successful.”
As Derby County aims to climb up from their current 12th position and make a push for the playoffs, their upcoming away fixtures against Millwall and Oxford United will be crucial. The squad’s confidence is high, especially at home, and they must carry that momentum into their away games to avoid further defeats on the road. Warne and his team need to address the disparities between their home and away performances to ensure a successful season.
