Derby County continues to search for offensive form after failing to score in recent Premier League outings. The team finished with zero shots on target against West Ham at the London Stadium before hosting West Bromwich Albion at Pride Park. Despite playing against 10 men for a significant duration against Albion, Derby failed to break down the defensive setup and struggled with final-third execution. Manager John Eustace faces criticism regarding the side's conservative tactics, which some supporters feel favor lateral passing over creating goal-scoring opportunities. With four points from six games, Derby currently sits 22nd in the league table. The team aims to improve its urgency and attacking output in the upcoming match against Birmingham.
