"We didn't play well today but we have got something out of the game," Jewell said.
"We would definitely have lost a month ago, we would have fallen to pieces when they equalised but there is a lot more resolve and desire in the team now.
"Determination has got to come first and I am pleased that we have shown that.
"We have been average in the last two matches but we have not been beaten and that's what we need at this stage.
"It's going to take a few more results for us to relax completely and play the football that I know we are capable of.
"It's going to be a long road and if I feel that if we are going to get it right it's not going to happen overnight."
Dave Jones was clearly not happy that the referee didn't spot a foul on Steve McPhail in the build up to Derby's goal.
"We've got this thing in football now where we have to be respectful so I will be respectful," Jones said
"But we were still arguing about it and lost our concentration at the corner.
"All the talk at half-time in the camp was about pride and passion and keeping the unbeaten run going.
"In the second half it was a matter of keep driving at them and we did that.
"We dominated the game and although we could have been more clinical in front of goal we played some fantastic football from start to finish.
"It was two points dropped with the amount of possession we had but we didn't defend the corner properly for the goal."
