Derby County managed to breathe new life into their campaign with victory against Bolton Wanderers.
Just their second win of the campaign, the Rams came from behind to beat Bolton to seemingly save John Eustace’s job heading into the second international break of the campaign.
And while the Derby boss has seen the pressure ease slightly, there are still some serious concerns at Pride Park.
Despite their win against Bolton, the Rams remain in the Championship relegation zone on just ten points, five points from safety.
And speaking ahead of the win against Bolton, boss Eustace confirmed that the club are indeed in a battle to avoid the drop.
"We're in a relegation fight until we get out of it. It could be all season, it could be short-term, whatever it takes to move up the league," the Derby boss told BBC East Midlands Today.
"I think it's very evident we're not at full strength. There's going to be lots of positives to come from the group eventually, it's just making sure we get into that right rhythm when we can.

"It's been the toughest three months, definitely, through recruitment and personnel that are available to us. But it's part of the job and I have to get my head around that and try to find solutions."
Derby last dropped into League One back in 2022 and spent a couple of seasons in the second tier, before Paul Warne led the club back to the Championship with a second-placed finish.
Of course, Eustace will be aiming to avoid a similar fate, particularly after the Rams narrowly missed out on a playoff position last season.
But do the Rams have enough to steer themselves away from relegation trouble or will they land in League One once again?
