Donnyram Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I know it's widely known with our clean sheet record but in 15 games since the 4-2 home defeat to Reading we have conceded just 4 goals in 15 games with 11 clean sheets. That is some record and I cannot remember a better run..... over to the statisticians amongst us ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eargasm Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Fantastic stats !........ long may it continue !...... sadly , I can remember the days when I thought we had changed our name from Derby County to Derby Nil ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gccrowdpleaser Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Record is 24 in a season I believe. QPR then Swansea a year later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mckram Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Think we have 16 this season, Wolves on 17. 24 to beat which would be some going! Usually around 20 clean sheets is the high for a season with the odd team getting above that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or continuing as per our last 15 games, that's another 11, giving us 27. Will be fascinating to see if we get anywhere close to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What impresses me is the consistency over the last 15 games..... long may it continue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 What impresses me is that of those four goals conceded only one came from open play one was a free kick v fulham, and the other two were from corners v ipswich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keo's record must be even better given he wasn't on the pitch for those 4 goals, always got a mistake in him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRam Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I'm curious what the record for fewest league goals conceded in a season is. I can't find it anywhere. If we assume the clean sheet records hold it, which isn't necessarily the case QPR had the better GA than Swansea with 32. So if we concede less than 9 goals in the next 16 games, there's a chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Gnarly Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Genuinely inspiring to see the work that Rowett has got this defence doing, the screening in front of the back 4 is almost perfect. A solid unit at the back has been what we have been missing over the past couple of seasons, no more silly mistakes that cost us points. Really proud to see Keogh getting the recognition he deserves, always seemed to worry about his partner too much previously - now he has got a fantastic partner so he can do his roaming that gets the fans off their seats.

Just posted this in another thread but probably better fits here: I think its interesting that opposition fans are not realising our style of play just as some of us Derby fans weren't earlier in the season. Brentford fans were/are convinced that they were on top second half and likely to score. In reality they had a couple of sniffs but that's about it. Its very reassuring to know that once we go even one ahead the opposition have a big problem. If they push on to equalise they are more likely going to concede again. If they continue as they start which is often just probing, our defence is nigh on impregnable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

admira Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 In the 4 games against Wolves (H), Reading (H), Sheffield United (A) and Bristol City (A), we conceded 13 goals In the remaining 26 league games, we’ve only let in 10. Its a remarkable performance by the back four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remarkable achievement yes but it's a reflection of the whole team and the way Rowett has got them playing rather than just the back four, although they have indeed been excellent. The way Vydra has changed his game, working hard to track back and regain possession, is a great example of GR's influence this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramboy63 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Its a fantastic run of games and clean sheets we are putting together and the Manager and all the squad need commending. Given the fact after 10 games we were at the wrong end of the table and on 13 points this as been a massive turnaround Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha! Of course, set pieces from a Mick McCarthy side. Poor Mick will never get a break from the stereotypes. I wonder if he would even buy Messi if he could?

loweman2 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Interesting ! “Colin Boulton was the only Derby County player to take part in all 84-league games during the team's two Championship winning seasons Boulton kept 23 clean sheets during the Championship-winning 1971–72 season. He was also ever present in the team that won the First Division in 1975” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
