Robins refusing to get carried away
Robins marked his second game in charge with a 3-2 win at Pride Park on Tuesday night, having tasted defeat at Watford in his first game since replacing Simon Davey.
The Tykes had lost five of their first six Championship games ahead of the trip to the East Midlands but came from behind to secure three precious points.
It seemed the Tykes were on course for yet another defeat after Rob Hulse deservedly put the Rams in front after 26 minutes.
But Robins' side equalised with a stunning strike from Adam Hamill nine minutes before half-time and they caught Derby cold in the second half to secure only their second win in 16 Championship games stretching back to last season.
The Rams were furious with Barnsley's second goal, with Kris Commons seemingly bundled over, and as the visitors broke Andy Gray beat the offside trap and slotted home.
Derby lost their way after Gray's goal, failing to reproduce the flowing football they displayed in the first half and substitute Anderson De Silva sealed the points with another breakaway goal in the second minute of stoppage time.
Shaun Barker's header three minutes later gave the Rams a glimmer of hope, but the damage had already been done.
Robins said: "I'm pleased for the players because they put a hell of a lot of work in. That's three points from two away games, which is a good return and gives us a platform.
"For us it's a start and it gets us up and running a little bit, but with tough games to come.
"We'll enjoy this, but we've got to turn our attention - once we've looked at some of the injury situations - to the game on Saturday."
He added: "We've got to build on this and make sure everybody doesn't get carried away because it's just a first win of the season.
"It's been too long coming but we'll take it and we've got to make sure we recover right and do the right things before the weekend and try and repeat it."
Rams boss Nigel Clough was left frustrated with his side's defending once again, but was also less than happy with the performance of referee Nigel Miller.
He said: "We thought it was a foul on Kris Commons (before the second goal). Their players stopped and our players stopped.
"I'm not sure whether it was offside or not, but we've still got to defend it better. We seem to be getting punished at the moment for every little thing.
"There were an awful lot of strange decisions. It's very frustrating when we're battling for everything and we can't get a decision.
"We're not looking for any favours, we're not looking for anything we don't deserve, we're just looking for run-of-the-mill decisions being given correctly.
"The push on Kris Commons is a run-of-the-mill decision. That's not an excuse, but it would help if we could get them."
