Derby County boss John Eustace has said there are “lots of positives” to take from their 3-1 FA Cup defeat to Leeds United on Sunday.
The Rams led the contest through Ben Brereton Diaz’s low strike in the first half but conceded twice within four minutes in the second period, before James Justin put the game to bed in added time.
“We were good, we were very competitive,” Eustace told BBC Radio Derby.
“I was really pleased with the debut of Oscar (Fraulo), Lewis Travis came back in, Corey Blackett-Taylor was really exciting on the left. All the players that came in I thought did really well.
“Second half, it was disappointing to concede so early but when players haven’t played for that amount of time, we just didn’t start quickly enough.
“I’m disappointed to lose, of course I am, but there’s lots of positives to take from the game.”
