Paul Warne expressed his disappointment with the outcome of Derby County’s draw against Millwall, acknowledging that it was not a thrilling match. Despite feeling that the Rams deserved a penalty during the game, he conceded that the result might have been a fair one overall.
The game saw Jerry Yates scoring his first goal for Derby late in the second half from a corner, hinting at a possible away win for the team. However, Mihailo Ivanovic’s equalizer after benefiting from a fortunate bounce dashed those hopes. Warne highlighted the team’s efforts in defending against Millwall’s set pieces but rued the missed penalty opportunity when Corey Blackett-Taylor was fouled in the box but ruled offside.
Reflecting on the match, Warne commended his team’s organization and ability to neutralize Millwall’s threats while admitting that a draw could be seen as a reasonable conclusion. Despite the disappointment of conceding late, he praised his players for their hard work and emphasized their potential to perform even better.
