Bridgford Ram Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I don't think this has been done on here, apologies if it has, but I notice that the DET have been running request for fans to send in their best Derby XI of the last 10 years. It might be a bit more positive and not include mention of N*******e.We need to consider players from 2005/06 onwards.As a guide, the team for the opening game of that season was;Lee Camp; Marc Edworthy, Richard Jackson, Andrew Davies, Michael Johnson; Morten Bisgaard, Inigo Idiakez, Paul Thirlwell, Tommy Smith; Grzegorz Rasiak, Paul PeschisolidoI will start thinking about mine now.

Bridgford Ram Posted April 25, 2015 Author Share Posted April 25, 2015 Done mine, main things that strike me are (1) We have got it so good now (last 10 games aside) and (2) We have had an abysmal run of left backs.

Ambitious Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 It's a hard one because if you're going by average performances then Grant would get in. However, if you're going on a season then Bywater would.

loughboroughRAM Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Choosing a left back for this was disgustingly hard... BywaterBrayford Barker Shackell Roberts Thorne Hughes BrysonCommons Barnes Martin Subs: Grant, Oakley, Ward, Idiakez, Hulse, Wisdom, BuxtonThis team with each player in their prime would walk this league you'd like to think (maybe with the exception of Gareth Roberts).

He's comfortably the best LB of the past 10 seasons. Would an in-form Matt Ritchie have to swap wings in a home game because he was getting so little change out of Roberts?

Duracell Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 GrantWisdom, Keogh, Buxton, ForsythHendrick, Thorne, HughesRussell Martin Ince I've gone with the team that pummeled Brighton in the play-off semi last season. That team is the strongest we've put out over the past 10 seasons. But basically, maybe Commons and Idiakez aside (the latter of which was already on a downwards trajectory by 05/06), the squad we have now has an answer to anything else we've had since then. And I'm not going to let a 10 game blip change my mind on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duracell Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Odd no players from the 2007 promo team in the first 11.That side was too functional for my liking. That Colchester home game was the only time we played nice football. I know we got promoted but I didn't enjoy that season. Didn't feel right with Billy in charge.
