Derby County manager makes ‘disappointing’ Portsmouth admission, injury blow for Carlisle, Orient boss happy
The most recent League One news, including Portsmouth’s draw with Derby County and Carlisle United’s significant injury setback.
Paul Warne, the manager of Derby County, has acknowledged that his team’s performance against Portsmouth on Saturday wasn’t up to par.
In order to move into the League One automatic promotion spots, an unbeaten Pompey team came to Pride Park. However, just 86
minutes after arriving, James Collins converted a penalty kick to give the visitors the lead.
But there was late drama as a dramatic equaliser from Pompey striker Colby Bishop earned his side a point and left Warne to deliver
an honest assessment of his side’s performance
He told the Derby Telegraph: “The performance was not us at our best. Portsmouth came here in really good fettle, they haven’t lost a
game and kept going right until the end.
“But to concede one so late on and I’ve been told it hits Marlon Pack’s arm in the build-up which is disappointing. But you can’t allow
Bishop on his own in the six when you’ve got three centre-backs on.
Naturally, we’ll play much better, and we’ll play much better while losing. The unfortunate part is that we should be able to finish the
game once you get your mind in the game.
Carlisle United are set to lose striker Josh Kayode for three months after they confirmed the Republic of Ireland Under-21 star has
suffered a torn muscle in his shoulder.
The 23-year-old joined the Cumbrians on a season-long loan deal from Championship club Rotherham United on transfer deadline
day and has made two appearances for Paul Simpson’s side.
However, a shoulder injury means Kayode is set for an extended spell on the sidelines after Cumbrians boss Simpson confirmed he
will undergo surgery later this month.
He told the club website: “He went for a scan and it’s a torn muscle in the shoulder, which needs surgery. That will happen on 26
September and we’re expecting him to be out for 12 weeks, possibly.
“It’s a huge blow for us, but more importantly it’s a massive blow for JJ. He’s really settled in and I can assure you that I was looking
forward to seeing him getting fitter and stronger.
“Since this has already occurred, the door is now open for someone else. Luke Plange started, scored, and Ryan Edmondson returned
to the bench as we watched. Sean, Terry, and Garns all wanted the same thing. Everyone wants to volunteer and assist.
