Derby boss Paul Warne says he is trying to delicately manage his squad as they chase promotion
Boss Paul Warne says he is aware that the pressure of Derby County's promotion bid "can break" his players if not delicately managed.
The Rams are three places and 10 points adrift of the automatic promotion spots with 10 matches remaining."If we lose Saturday our season isn't over, but the importance of winning is now becoming greater," Warne said. "I showed the players the league table the other day and said 'if we had beaten Shrewsbury and played better in the second half at Plymouth, which we should have, we would only be two or three points off second'."I need to show them the importance of every game and that comes down to every tackle, every attacking corner, defending every set-piece, every throw-in - everything has to be spot-on to give yourself the best chance to win.
"It's about being consistent over these 10 games, trying to get six or seven wins ideally and trying to get as high as you can," Warne told BBC Radio Derby. "And if you are fortunate enough or unfortunate enough, however you want to look at it, to be in the play-offs you just want to hit it in really good form."
