DERBY COUNTY players paid an emotional tribute to team-mate Josh Vickers who was left out of the squad due to personal reasons.<\/strong><\/p>\n The Championship side travelled to Carlisle with keeper Vickers out of the squad.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n His team-mates paid tribute to him by warming up with "Josh 31" on the front of their tops.<\/p>\n And when James Collins opened the scoring, Derby players held up a jersey with "Vickers 31" on it.<\/p>\n Vickers' absence from the side remains unknown with only "personal reasons" given for his exclusion. <\/p>\n The Rams came into the match in tenth with four wins from eight.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n And manager Paul Warne admitted his side had been "stuttering" start to the season. <\/p>\n He added: "But it's not like we are bottom of the league though is it? <\/p>\n "I appreciate everyone has expectations and expectations at a big club are louder, not bigger. <\/p>\n "They're not bigger because fans of every club want their team to be in the top three.<\/p>\n <\/picture>FULL TIME <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>LIN IT TO WIN IT <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>ROO ARE YA? <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/picture>SWEET FA <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n "I do understand it has been a stuttering start but unfortunately that is the joy of sport. I am a sports fan myself and every fan wants their team to win every single game.<\/p>\n "There aren't many who can do that. At the moment we have just fallen short of where we expected to be. <\/p>\n "I don't expect us to win every single game, but I do expect us to have more points than we have got. <\/p>\n "In fairness, bar a late-minute goal (against Portsmouth) and feeling a little robbed at Bolton, we might have three or four more points and we're sitting second.<\/p>\n "I know it's all ifs and buts but you're talking about the smallest defining moments possibly at our weakest point as well and not our strongest.<\/p>\n "I appreciate the fans who stay and clap the team because everybody here is pulling to help us be successful so I appreciate all the support we get."<\/p>\nREAD MORE FOOTBALL NEWS<\/span><\/h2>\n
