Ain't got a clue what year 😄 I'm hopeless with years but they had Steve McClaren in charge (briefly) and our line-up is some way from looking like his one after replacing NC, so I'll go autumn of the previous season: 2012?

Year, opponents, memories. 4-4 draw. 2013 home to Ipswich. 1-4 at half-time under Wassall; legend has it that Steve McClaren entered the dressing room and suggested a few changes. (I didn’t remember this bit but judging by the info, maybe he just went in and said “Right, get Conor Sammon off, now!”) Stormed back for a 4-4 draw. Steve Mac took over fully the following day. Adventures were had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(It looks like it was Man City v Villa.) In those days, you could decline to play the game and both Derby and Leeds did so. I think it was due to the possibility of late international duty due to Euro 1972. Perhaps in the end it didn't matter as England only lasted another five days after the season ended.(13th May).

My first taste of success as a Derby fan after ten long lean years apart from the odd cup run in the early 80s. Premier ram and admira 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(A) because it's only up the road from me and (B) yes, one of the floodlights went out so there was a ten minute delay when we were losing 3-2 from memory. Then two glorious late goals and it was back to the pub to celebrate! Edited September 12, 2023 by admira Premier ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant weekend, we stayed at the Holiday Inn at the ground, we had Dinner at Delia’s restaurant after the match, the waitress said she came into the kitchen after the match with a face like thunder.
