After a close defeat to Bradford City in Tuesday’s EFL Trophy clash, Derby is gearing up for league action this weekend. Sam Stubbs’ second-half goal secured a 1-0 loss, concluding their EFL Trophy journey in the last-16 stage.
Despite the disappointment, Paul Warne’s team can refocus on their promotion pursuit, currently positioned fourth and trailing the top two by three points. Derby, with a strong track record of nine wins in their last 11 league matches (D1, L1), anticipates a favorable outcome on Monday.
Their confidence is bolstered by a convincing 3-0 victory over Burton in August, featuring goals from James Collins, Conor Hourihane, and Conor Washington. Burton, now under new management with Paterson succeeding Dino Maamria permanently, witnessed Gary Mills’ caretaker role conclude with a narrow 2-1 defeat to Blackpool in the EFL Trophy last-16.
Paterson, previously an assistant at Swansea City, Barnsley, and Inter Miami, takes charge of a team currently in 19th place, five points above the relegation zone. With the Brewers seeking their first away win in the third tier since mid-October and having lost five of their last six away league games (D1), Paterson faces the challenge of steering the team to success on the road.
