The Verdict

When you consider that Derby were backed by a huge number of supporters on Saturday despite the fact that they were relegated from the Championship last month, it is hardly a surprise that Cashin has praised the fans as they have been fantastic throughout the season.

Under the guidance of Wayne Rooney, Cashin has made considerable strides in terms of his development as he has been handed the opportunity to feature regularly in the third-tier.

During his side's triumph over Blackpool, the defender helped Derby keep a clean-sheet by making seven clearances and winning six aerial duels (as per WhoScored).

Having recorded a WhoScored match rating of 8.35 in this fixture, Cashin will unquestionably be confident in his ability to deliver the goods in this weekend's meeting with Cardiff.
