Jewell is still looking for his elusive first victory since becoming manager in November after the Rams began the new campaign with a 1-0 home defeat to newly-promoted Doncaster.

"Last season will continue to loom large over us until we win a game. People won't forget it until that happens," said Jewell.

Jewell had wanted to rid the club of its "losing mentality" following last season, but Derby looked as disjointed as ever at times, particularly after falling behind to Lewis Guy's strike on the hour.

But the Derby boss believes a win would transform the club's fortunes and banish some painful memories.

"I think it is fair to say we looked like a team with seven new signings. As a team I think Doncaster were more comfortable playing with each other," he said.

"I am aware that we need to gel pretty quickly. There are games, a lot of games, that we can win this season. Not like last season when the feeling was we were going to be beaten."

Doncaster manager Sean O'Driscoll refused to get carried away despite his side's winning start on Rovers' return to the second tier after a 50-year absence.

"I would call it a good start after 10 games, not after 90 minutes," said O'Driscoll.

"It was a good performance, which is what we wanted to do. We got our noses in front and we defended manfully at times and I was pleased with the attitude and the way they handled the occasion. I just hope we have got another 45 of those to come."
