Derby head coach John Eustace speaks before the trip to Coventry<\/p>\n

Derby boss John Eustace says he would have snapped your hand off to be in this position after a tough start to the campaign.<\/p>\n

The Rams were languishing in 21st and nine points adrift of the play-offs after winning just one of their opening 10 league games (D5 L4).<\/p>\n

But only four teams have amassed more points than the 52 Derby have managed since then to haul themselves back into contention for the top six.<\/p>\n

“Really proud of the effort of the whole football club to get to this stage,” Eustace told BBC Radio Derby<\/a>. <\/p>\n

“To be in this position with seven games to go is a fantastic achievement, but we want to keep going and see how high we can finish.<\/p>\n

“If you take the first 10 games out we’d be in a much stronger position. There’s still a lot more growth to come from this group so let’s enjoy the ride and keep going.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Eustace ‘proud’ of Derby turnaroundpublished at 19:56 BST 19:56 BST Coventry v Derby (20:00 BST) Derby County Media…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":404603,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-583447","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/583447","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=583447"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/583447\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/404603"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=583447"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=583447"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=583447"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
