Jason Knight details key Derby County aim ahead of Cardiff City tie

Derby County midfielder Jason Knight has stressed the need for his side to convert good away performances into victories ahead of their trip to the Welsh capital to face Cardiff City tomorrow evening, as he spoke to the Rams’ media team.

Wayne Rooney’s men travel south having failed to win a point or three against Luton Town on Saturday afternoon, putting in a reasonably decent performance at Kenilworth Road against a play-off contender in Luton Town but being undone by Danny Hylton’s strike.

This was their second consecutive defeat following their 2-1 loss against Millwall last week, two setbacks in their quest for survival with fellow relegation battlers Barnsley moving above them in the table following their 3-2 win against Middlesbrough at the weekend.

The Rams’ loss against Luton was particularly demoralising with their away form proving to be detrimental to their survival chances, winning just two league matches away from Pride Park this term.

Considering some of their promising away performances, some of which have been particularly impressive with their squad’s inexperience, they will be extremely disappointed not to have come away with more points.

And this is something they will be focusing on improving according to Knight, whose team will be searching for a rare 2021/22 win on the road when they travel to face the Bluebirds tomorrow night.

He said: “We had chances and could have been two goals up early on but we need to start turning the screw ourselves and turning those away performances, maybe good sometimes performances, into wins and we will go to Cardiff on Tuesday with the determination to do that.

“We’ve been really good at home in front of our own fans and we’ve been having a lot of sell-outs recently,
