What were you doing on the 17th September 2007? I know what Derby County was doing. Winning a Premier League match against a struggling, Keegan-less Newcastle United side. I hope the Derby fans had a helluva day out, because that win directly preceded their streak of 36 consecutive league matches without a win […]

It’s not much fun being a County fan at the moment. The Rams were a laughing stock in the Premier League last season, winning just one match all term. Things have not gone much better this campaign, despite manager Paul Jewell spending plenty of cash to try and bounce back into the top flight at […]

Paul Jewell arrived at Pride Park full of optimism and was confident that he could improve Derby’s fortunes. However, it appears as though the Rams were a lot better off two seasons ago (apart from financially of course) when Billy Davies was at the helm, steering the underdogs to promotion at the first time of […]

It’s a win/win thing as one of Wenger’s top youngsters gets a decent grounding of experience, and Derby County get a player who could well help them in their pursuit of promotion!

It’s not been much fun supporting Derby County in the past twelve months. After gaining promotion to the Premier League, the Rams were humiliated on several occasions, showing a remarkable ineptitude under Billy Davies and Paul Jewell. Many claim that the latter’s job is on the line following an ordinary start to their Championship campaign, […]

While Paul Jewell could do little about County’s relegation from the Premier League last season, it didn’t seem as though there was much improvement on Billy Davies’ record in the top flight. The former Wigan manager brought in plenty of new faces, but they couldn’t land him a win all season and it still appears […]

The Rams may be one of the favourites to be promoted from the Championship this season, although it’s possible that many of the Derby players will still be suffering from a hangover. That’s not because they’re heavy drinkers but more down the fact that County accrued just 11 points in the Premier League last season. […]

It’s easy to forget that the Rams had a brilliant season the last time they were in the Championship. Under Billy Davies, they made numerous comebacks to win games by a slender margin, eventually culminating in promotion through the play-offs. One of the key players in Derby’s successful campaign was their goalkeeper, and it looks […]
