Derby County star Conor Hourihane has said that there is ‘a big frustration’ from himself after the defeat to Shrewsbury Town.
The Rams seven game unbeaten run in all comp came to an end on Saturday afternoon, after an own goal from Hourihane gave Salop all three points.
This puts the Rams now four points off the playoffs, sat in eleventh place in League One.
Derby star on Shrewsbury loss
Speaking on the club website, Hourihane shared his thoughts on Saturday’s loss.
“We were very disappointed first and foremost because we obviously wanted to get the three points and the win and that didn’t happen.
“We felt we had a really good week heading into the game and we had big ambitions to get the three points, which didn’t happen.
“I think we created loads of chances but ultimately we were beaten, which is a big frustration.”
Hourihane on what was said in dressing room
Saturday was a massive low in Derby’s season, as Rams fans’ voices were heard after the full time whistle.
Derby goalkeeper Joe Wildsmith had called on fans to ‘stay positive’ following Saturday’s defeat.
There was also plenty said in the dressing room afterwards, which Hourihane declined to comment on.
“A lot got said after the game, there was a lot of frustration but that stays in house. For me, lads saying their piece in and around the dressing room is brilliant, it builds character.
“It gets said in the dressing room and then gets moved on and we move on as a stronger group.
“A lot got said in the dressing room at the weekend and hopefully that can put us in a better place moving forward.”
The Rand will be hoping to put things right in what is now a double gameweek, where they face Exeter City at Pride Park on Tuesday night, before facing Stevenage away from home on Saturday afternoon.
