Start of the month table race...


Queens Park Rangers v Derby County
3-2 loss. Easily could have been a win.

Derby County v West Ham
2-2 draw. Need to start grabbing as many points as I can to stay in the last playoff spot.



Southampton v Derby County
1-2 win. Gained 3 points on the 6th place team.

4 matches left...



Derby County v Stoke
1-2 loss. I thought our last matches were going to be rough. When do I fire sale?

Blackpool v Derby County
3-1 loss. can't lose again.



going into the last two matches...


Derby County v Sheffield Wednesday
3-0 win at home. One more win please!



Swansea v Derby County
0-2 win to secure the last spot in the playoff for promotion.



Championship Playoffs Round 1
Derby County v Stoke
0-1 shut out loss. Not good.

Stoke v Derby County
2-1 loss. Out of promotion. Most likely out of a job.

March 2015 (try 7, season 5)

Derby County v Middlesbrough
0-1 loss at home. What a disappointment. Berto was injured yet again. I hope this one isn't bad.

Watford v Derby County
0-2 win. Solid game all around. Great play for Sarpong, N'Gadi, and Surraco.

Derby County v Nottingham Forest
0-1 loss. I really could use some consistency from my team.

Crystal Palace v Derby County
1-3 win. Our front three picked up the slack in this one for sure.

February 2015 (Try 7, Season 5)

Derby County v Peterborough
0-1 loss. Berto injured for 2-3 weeks.

Swindon v Derby County
0-1 win. Not bad with a broken team.

Preston v Derby County
3-3 draw. Slugfest. We shouldn't have given up that final goal.



Derby County v Cardiff
0-1 loss. What the hell. Berto really is the core of our offense huh? If I get promoted I need to find some quality front men.

Derby County v Sheffield United
1-1 draw. They picked up a red card in the 10th minute. Then a freak accidental goal from Sheffield early put us on the attack. Somehow we could only tie it up. This is so annoying.


Huddersfield v Derby County
1-2 win. Barker picked up two misplaced saves in front of the goal.

Cardiff, Derby County, FM2011, Huddersfield, Peterborough, Preston North End, Sheffield United, Swindon

January 2015 (try 7, season 5)

League Table at the top of the month...



Swansea v Derby County (FA Cup 3rd Round)
2-0 loss. Nobody played well. Why can't we show up for cup games?

Coventry v Derby County
0-0 draw. Lackluster performance going on all over this game.

Derby County v Fulham
2-1 win. Looking better.

Reading v Derby County
3-2 loss. I cannot believe we gave up a 0-2 lead.

December 2014 (try 7, season 5)

Sheffield Wednesday v Derby County
0-2 win. Jordan Mutch with some serious hustle with two goals including this one...




Derby County v Swansea
1-0 win. Down to the last minute. They almost scored the equalizer in the 88th but dude was offside. Good wins against two top 5 teams. We are still just outside the playoffs in 7th.


Derby County v Bristol City
2-1 win! Back and forth all night. Good game to win but stressful to play. Bristol kept the pressure on through the whole match.


Norwich v Derby County
0-3 win. We keep on going strong in December. Berto scored his 100 career goal here...


Derby County v Leeds
1-1 useless draw. We should not have been so relaxed today.

End of the month awards...




Top award for one of our young players out on loan to League 2 club Burton.

November 2014, Try 7, Season 5

Nottingham Forest v Derby County
1-3 win. That racks up 5 matches in a row without a loss. Can my guys stop being so sensitive?


West Ham v Derby County
0-0 draw. Tough match. Again, we need to finish our chances.

Derby County v Crystal Palace
2-0 win. Keeping up our pace against the last place team.

Derby County v Queens Park Rangers
3-1 win. Another great day for the guys as a whole. Berto setting it off with this one...


Derby County v Southampton
1-1 draw. Almost lost this choosing to rest some starters and a match ban. Ooof.

Stoke v Derby County
3-2 Loss. Back and forth, our defense again just not showing up.


Derby County v Blackpool
2-2 draw. Now we are on a no win streak of 3. Apparently my job is now on the line with the board.

Oct 2014 (try 7 season 5)

Sheffield United v Derby County
1-3 win. This is what we are capable of. I don't understand why the whole team is getting so out of shape. We can turn this around if the players would just hustle.



Huddersfield v Derby County
0-2 shutout. Both goals made by our newly acquired loan from Arsenal, Sam Magri.



Middlesbrough v Derby County
0-2 shutout, again! Wow look at this. All of my starting 11 has all stepped up to complain that we are not playing up to our potential. St. Leger, in particular has been so upset he won't talk with or play for me. Time to go in on our Defense in the off season.

Derby County v Watford
0-0 draw. We need to finish we it counts. So many chances and no goals.



Our loaner from Arsenal grabbed an award this month...

September 2014 try 7 season 5

Fulham v Derby County
4-2 loss. Our captain, Barker, had 2 own goals. thanks man.

Derby County v Reading

Peterborough v Derby County
2-1 loss. Three injuries in this match. Barker out 4 months; Van La Parra out 6-7 weeks; Elokobi out 2-3 days.

Cardiff v Derby County
