Yojimbo Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 As I've been getting a bit obsessed with the idea that this is the end of Derby County's disappointing foray throughout the 2010s (assuming, like me, you would consider the 2019/20 season as part of the 2020s), I thought it might be a fun diversion from arguing whether or not Frank is going to Chelsea by picking our best XI from the players who've pulled on the black and white. I've culled the list below from players who've made at least 46 league starts for Derby and who have appeared in more than one league campaign. This, of course, rules out the loanees we've had this season but put them in if you want. I'm not your Mum. Goalkeepers Scott Carson Lee Grant Frank Fielding Stephen Bywater Defenders Shaun Barker Dean Moxey John Brayford Gareth Roberts Jason Shackell Richard Keogh Andre Wisdom Cyrus Christie Chris Baird Marcus Olsson Curtis Davies Craig Forsyth Sir Jake Buxton Midfielders Paul Green Robbie Savage Stephen Pearson James Bailey Ben Davies Craig Bryson Jeff Hendrick Will Hughes Paul Coutts George Thorne Bradley Johnson Jacob Butterfield Tom Huddlestone Attackers Theo Robinson Jamie Ward Chris Martin Johnny Russell Tom Ince Matej Vydra David Nugent Tom Lawrence Manager Nigel Clough Steve McClaren Gary Rowett Frank Lampard So, what's your Derby "Team of the 10s"?

wixman1884 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 LOVE this. I would probably go for the team you picked. a testament to how good we were 13-15 before things got ugly with injuries, newcastle, no plan-b etc etc. Did we ever see Ince and Martin play together under McClaren? I can't help but imagine how 14/15 would have ended if we hadn't lost thorne, martin (and keogh?). Ince was insanely good in that spell under McClaren. A prime Martin to for him to play off would have been interesting to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel a.bit disloyal not to have more of next seasons squad involved so would tweak the selection criteria to include Bogle on the expanded bench to make it 4 from our own academy. Carson - Brayford - Forsyth - Keogh - Shackell - Thorne - Hughes - Hendrick - Ince - Martin - Russell Subs - Grant - Bogle - Bryson - Huddlestone - Ward - Vydra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always miss someone when I do these things - I missed out Nugent v Fulham when I did the hattricks one. Could @David add Big Dog Buxton into my original post please? (Really wish there wasn't a time limit on editing). 1 hour ago, David said: *No Marriott or Waghorn on the list, assuming they are allowed if Lampard is? Yeah, I probably shouldn't have included Frank Lampard in the managers list as it kind of contradicts my own criteria regarding two seasons etc. But I did say if people really wanted to include Mount, Wilson etc. it was up to them, my list was more just a suggestion really in case people had forgotten some players (I forgot Paul Coutts even existed, for example, and he played 60 times for Derby). The other reason for 46 starts was just to make the list manageable rather than any bias against Mount etc. Surprised how many people have gone for Bogle over Brayford. I think that's recency bias in full effect; Bogle was really shaky over Christmas before a storming end to the season, whereas Brayford was consistent for over three years and was player of the season (admittedly in a weaker side). I think, over time and provided we don't sell him, Bogle will be a better player for Derby than even Brayford was, but within the time frame of the 2009/10 to 2018/19 seasons, Brayford is far more deserving. Edit: Also, showing my out-of-touchness by forgetting that teams can name 7 subs these days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
