Derby County captain Conor Hourihane confronted angry supporters as tensions soured following defeat at Shrewsbury Town.<br /><br />A 1-0 defeat, courtesy of an own goal from Hourihane, ended the Rams' seven-match unbeaten run, and also left them slumped 11th in League One. <br /><br />Fans were left furious with manager Paul Warne's tactics and some took their frustrations out on players, one of which was Hourihane.<br /><br />In a video shared on X, the Irish midfielder can be seen confronting one fan after the final whistle.<br /><br />'It's all for me?' Hourihane asked. 'I'm trying my best, we're trying our best!' <br /><br />The video quickly went viral and has been viewed more than 700,000 times on the social media platform.<br /><br />Many were quick to praise Hourihane for fronting up, but they suggested it should have been Warne who addressed the grievances of fans. <br /><br />'They are no more frustrated than me. This is my life,' Warne said when asked about the fans' frustrations at the end. <br /><br />'I can understand why they are frustrated because they've seen their team play and do everything they can to win, but not win.' <br /><br />It was not lost on Hourihane's team-mates that the atmosphere is turning sour among supporters ahead of Tuesday's home clash against Exeter City.<br /><br />'We fully understand why there were grievances at the end. But I would just ask them to stick with us and stay positive,' goalkeeper Joe Wildsmith said, as per Derbyshire Live.<br /><br />'We are working hard every single day and we don't take it lightly.'<br /><br />Derby have won just five of their opening 12 league matches and find themselves 13 points adrift of league leaders Portsmouth.
