Steve McClaren hails Derby County character after Norwich City draw

Derby showed character and dug deep to get their 1-1 draw at Norwich City, says manager Steve McClaren.

Derby County manager Steve McClaren has praised his side's resilience after they came away with a 1-1 draw at Norwich City this afternoon.

Cameron Jerome gave the Canaries a half-time lead, but John Ruddy's own goal gifted the Rams a crucial point in their quest for promotion from the Championship.

McLaren told BBC Sport: "It's always going to be tough coming to a place like this, especially when you are without three controlling midfielders and your two main strikers.

"But I thought we showed real character today to come away with a point - it's a characteristic that should serve us well in the last 10 games. We have taken a lot of points this season by playing fantastic football and that wasn't the case today.

"But the lads dug in to make sure we came away with something and to be fair I think it was about time we had a little bit of luck."

Derby sit fourth in the Championship table, two points behind each of the three sides above them.
