Derby County Nears Midfielder Lewis Travis Signing from Blackburn Rovers

Derby County manager John Eustace expressed pride in his team's resilience after securing their first point of the Championship season with a 1-1 draw against Bristol City, thanks to Carlton Morris's late goal. Despite early setbacks and a goal conceded from a throw-in, Eustace praised his players' character and the positive impact of tactical changes at halftime. Meanwhile, Derby is on the verge of strengthening their midfield by signing Lewis Travis from Blackburn Rovers, reuniting the player with Eustace, who previously coached him. Travis, a long-serving Blackburn captain, is expected to bring experience and continuity to Derby as they aim for a top-half finish. The Rams have struggled at the start of the season, with pundits like Sam Parkin optimistic about Eustace's ability to turn their fortunes around, predicting potential victories in upcoming matches. Derby's recent performances highlight a team in transition, focusing on building cohesion and capitalizing on strategic signings to improve their Championship campaign.
