Looking at signings made so far and potential signings, how do you see your club doing? and what changes can you see happening?

One for us Football League folk. Will do mine on Derby later.

not too well signed a fair few players but nearly all are from the level below we have enough strikers on our books now to fill 3 teams now so hopefully we should score some but it doesn't make me more hopeful still looking to finish about 14th imo

speaking of 14th, that's where Derby finished last season, and now Clough says were looking for Playoffs. However, I can't quite see it happening. Compared to last season, we've dropped a bit of dead wood but I don't really rate Clough's newest recruits, all from lower divisions. Still need a striker, Reports of bids for Gary Hooper, but will most likely be a John Hooper from Ilkeston Town, the way Clough does business.

If we can avoid the injuries that plagued last season, we can finish top 10. If we can't maintain our fitness and keep our good home form that we pride ourselves on, another mediocre 10th - 16th place

We signed Chris Porter last season and he's a fantastic player, but he was injured all season and never got a chance to shine, now he's being overloooked by Cloughie

a big season also for hoolahan had a great season for us last yr but in his first year when we was in the championship he was dire but he was being played out of position by the rat

Was Lee Croft any good at Norwich? I never saw him there before he came to us. Not been too impressed with him here. Started the season quite well but has been poor and dropped out of first team. Can't remember where he's gone on loan to.

he has serious weight problems for a winger he is good on the ball but he also thinks he is a lot better than he actually is i must admit i'd thought we'd miss him but we haven't he must be one of your highest earners as you signed him for free i think and to farm him out on loan doesn't bode well

I don't think hes one of the high ones, Derby have some stupidly high wages. The likes of Bywater and Leacock are on high wages, especially Savage. Savage is on £17k per week. and thats down 7k from last season.

He's at Huddersfield atm.

Still hard to know because the squad is not complete and there still is the Kieran Westwood situation to be resolved. At the moment the players who have left like Morrisson, Wright, Hall, Barnett etc were just not good enough so I'm happy they are gone. Steven O'Halloran if fit couldf be a good signing, McSheffrey i'm not convinced by, Keogh at right back is a good player, Roy O'Donovan is a good player too, so I would expect a top 12 finish with Aidy in charge.

Really depends on what happens in the 6 weeks left in the window, Westwood will be sold imo, won't get close to getting a good replacement for him though, 3 more players are coming in, 2 of which are going to be loan signings from the Premier League but it really depends on how good these players are, if it's going to be another Freddie Sears from West Ham then it's a waste of time.

Would expect us to line up something like this:

...................New GK....................

..O'Halloran...Craine...McPake..Keogh..

Baker/New MF...Gunnarsson....Clingan....McSheff..

................Eastwood........New CF......

I'd expect a Derby line up of:

Bywater

Brayford...Barker...Addison...Roberts

Bailey...Savage...Green...Pearson

...Commons

Hulse...


I think we need a new left midfielder to rival Pearson, as his performances of late haven't been quite up to scratch.
