And Asanovic. And Eranio. 

Blimey - keep on at this rate and we'll only have Kevin Hector, Craig Bryson and Igor Stimac left as players we actually liked.

Some mad takes on this thread. A lot of rubbish but pure rubbish, not hate worthy.
Glad warren barton has been mentioned. Pretty sure it was Burnley away when he got sent off and most of us were cheering. He wasn’t just rubbish but had a bit of an attitude about him.
Keeper for me has to be Roy Carroll. Came with a good reputation and pedigree but was rubbish and remember him falling out with the crowd a fair bit.
Goal or no goal, Kenny Miller was a mercenary who couldn’t give a damn.
A lot of rubbish players mentioned but largely not hate figures, while here anyway. Even Darryl Powell used to get a lot of stick. And I think Ravanelli is a fair shout too for being a leech that was past it.

That's what I was suggesting it didn't become. And, to repeat, it doesn't mean you (or I) didn't like or appreciate them - McGovern being a prime case in point - but just means that you remember them being disliked by fans.
As for what adjective you want to apply to that team, for those that take umbrage with the word despised - I have no issue if the mods want to amend it to 'Most Mildly Irritating XI' or 'Most Likely To Cause Some Element Of Consternation, Though Hopefully Not Enough To Cause Loss Of Sleep Or Appetite, XI'

That might have something to do with the statement "can't blame them individually" - I did say that.

Ohhh, Andy Todd - good shout! Meant to be a 'proper player' but was anything but.

Kenny Miller did cross my mind and then I remembered the goal against Newcastle, possibly the only highlight of that season. But I agree.

I definitely agree on Masson, but maybe it was just that his legs had gone and he was part of our general dismay about the rapid decline of the club. I was very disappointed that we swopped Leighton James for him though so he can stay on the list
I have another who I particularly disliked though, Kenny Miller. Just here for the money and couldn't give a s*** 

Think you've done a good job in muddling up totally ineffectual players with those whom the crowd disliked. 

Crazy list. Middleton and Moreland were both nice guys who would never replace in the fans' affections  the great players of adjacent seasons. Just weren't in the same class.
McGovern - classy footballer who played at the very top of the game for us. Did the hard work and was always under-appreciated.
A small element of Derby fans have always liked to heap derision on a scapegoat of their choice. Cyrus Christie, Kelle Roos, Morgan Whitaker, spring to mind from the recent past.
It says a lot more about those so called fans than it does about the players. 

Conor Doyle - A young kid who got treated like absolute dirt by many of our w***** element, largely because the owners some didn't like were American and so was he. Sure he wasn't exactly a blessed footballer (reasonably neat/tidy but nothing more) but should have been being judged as a youth player to develop alongside our homegrown lot. Instead you'd think he cost us £500k and was taking up a large chuck of wages such was the level of derision aimed at him whenever he played.
Morgan Whittaker - Treated like crap on the say-so of Wayne Rooney, and because he wasn't a 'blood and thunder' style player and would take longer to develop than Knight, Sibley etc. People still hold a weird grudge against him for daring to celebrate against us (which I'd assume was actually aimed at Rooney rather than the fans - of which he is one) and some ill-advised but really not that big of a deal media comments.
Conor Sammon was obviously rather divisive.

Nicky Hunt got booed off when Clough hooked him after about 20 minutes of a truly appalling display.
Stern John got dogs abuse. Much of it was due to him being ex Forest, but I recall him attempting to shoot from about 35 yards and nearly clearing the north stand. The booing that ensued is definitely the most negative reaction I've ever heard for a Derby player.

3: Stephan Schnoor?!! What did he do wrong?
I'll throw in:
- Beck
- Danny Mills
- Anya (perhaps not his fault)
- Chris Baird for a bit but came good in the end
- Darren Bent for some
- Good old Bjørn Otto Bragstad
- Craig Fagan got quite a bit of hate iirc
- Bob Malcolm

I think Stephen Pearson gets into the side, skiving lily livered cheat. Mick Coop gets in both the all time worst 11 and this 11 ahead of Schnoor. I'd also promote Ravanelli from the bench to the starting 11. Very unfair on Keogh   

Pearson seems to get away with everything because of the play off final goal. I've never seen a central midfielder less inclined to even attempt a tackle.
I agree about Ravanelli too. He was a lazy knob who's main contribution was to take up spaces where Malcolm Christie would've been far more dangerous.

Lars Bohinen was a particular couldn't care less s***house as well. He could be involved somewhere 

So basically none of them were born when Foz made his debut - that's probably the real reason.

The declaration in the first innings of the first test is what will cost us the Ashes.
Amazing that only twice in Ashes history has it gone to the fifth test two apiece.

To be fair, if you dug him up and put him in the dug out he couldn’t do any worse than he did first time 🤣
