Norwich City 1-1 Derby County: Jerry Yates penalty ends Rams’ losing run

By Total Football News

Until then, the change of boss – and five changes to the line-up from the most recent defeat against Sheffield United – did not seem like stopping Derby’s miserable run continuing despite an encouraging first 45 minutes.

Both sides had goals disallowed for close offside calls in a frantic beginning, Lars-Jorgen Salvesen finding the net with a first-time finish for the visitors after some nice work from Nathaniel Mendez-Laing, and

Derby had been brought out of administration by owner Clowes less than three months before Warne was appointed head coach.

He took charge of a side hastily rebuilt for their first season back in the third tier for more than three decades with loan signings and free transfers.

Having successfully guided Rotherham to promotion from the division in each of the three seasons he managed at that level, Warne was
