Derby County boss John Eustace is facing growing pressure from supporters to make a bold change in his starting XI, with fans demanding the inclusion of a proven goal scorer ahead of the weekend fixture.

The Rams’ recent struggles in front of goal have sparked frustration among the fanbase, who believe the team’s lack of clinical finishing is holding them back. While Eustace has rotated options in attack, many fans are calling for a consistent starter — someone capable of delivering week in, week out.

“We can’t keep wasting chances. Start the lad who actually scores goals, not just runs the channels,” one supporter wrote on social media.

Another added: “If we don’t fix this now, we’ll drop valuable points. A reliable striker is what we’ve been crying out for.”

Eustace has so far defended his selection policy, insisting that competition for places keeps the squad sharp. However, the pressure is mounting ahead of the weekend, with many fans seeing it as a crucial turning point for the Rams’ campaign.

Pundits have also weighed in, suggesting that Derby’s defensive resilience will mean little if the side continues to lack a cutting edge up front.

Whether Eustace bows to the calls remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: the supporters want a clinical finisher leading the line — and they want it to happen this weekend.
