Bris Vegas Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 What has been your best or favourite first game of the season watching Derby? Or Derby’s best first game of the season in terms of result or performance? In recent years I can’t really think of a decent one. We beat Rotherham 1-0 a few years back but the performance was flat. I’m pretty sure we beat Leeds at Elland Road in one of the Clough seasons. But mine from memory is probably our first game back in the Championship, under John Gregory in 2002 I think. Beat Reading 3-0. Could have been seven or eight. Rob Lee scored a cracking opener. I was sure we’d walk the league after that game. We then turned crap while Reading had a decent season. 15 odd years ago that. Time flies... Anyway. Best Derby first game of the season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Honestly don’t think we’ve had a good opening game in my time watching, gives me more than slight concerns over tomorrow. 1-0 over Rotherham is the only win that sticks in my head. Did we draw the opener of the prem disaster too? Seem to remember naively thinking we could be alright.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyinLiverpool Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 We tonked Sunderland 5-0 one year. That was fun. A Sunderland fan got out of the away pen, walked across the pitch and threw his shirt in manager Terry Butcher’s face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irobinson Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 We are usually bad starters worst was probably Cambridge in the 80s third tier - got beaten 3 nil. Think Dion Dublin was playing for them best - probably the late Jeff Hendrick winner against Rotherham the other year - enjoyed that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smyth_18 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 2011-2012 when we won the first 4 games which is pretty unheard of for Derby. I thought we was promoted at that point. How naive was i? Saying that, if we beat Reading tonight and Leeds next week, we are definitely going up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Ram Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Wasnt the opening game but wasnt there a season in the prem when we were second and villa were top after a few games?
