In the upcoming battle against Millwall, Derby County’s defensive tactics on the road will be put to the test, as they strive to break their losing streak away from home. Despite this struggle, the team’s strong form at Pride Park has been a saving grace in the current Championship season under coach Paul Warne.
Warne faces a tough decision in selecting his defensive lineup, with particular attention on star defender Nat Phillips. While Phillips is a promising addition, players Eiran Cashin and Curtis Nelson have been pivotal in recent matches, making it a challenge for Warne to easily integrate Phillips into the starting XI.
With solid performances from Cashin and Nelson, Phillips may need to bide his time and wait for the right opportunity to showcase his skills. Warne’s emphasis on maintaining high standards in training signifies that Phillips will need to prove himself before earning a regular starting spot.
Nat Phillips must exhibit patience and readiness for his chance to shine in Derby County’s defensive setup. Despite limited playing time so far, his skills and experience could be a game-changer for the team once he gets his shot on the field after the upcoming away fixtures.
