We've made our Championship predictions... thoughts on where we've got Derby finishing? 🐏

dantowen819512mo ago

I’m pretty positive on Derby ! I really like the signing of Bilbija and I think Agyemang might be a dark horse for the golden boot

dantowen819512mo ago

One step further than last season I think is achievable

tom.procter2mo ago

Unless Eustace gets his wish of some more signings I think they’ll fall just short of the play-offs again

freddie2mo ago

Think they will be pretty avager even with Eustace. Gonna go 10th

kyle.dimond2mo ago

I’d have them lower but that takeover could really spur them on in the second half of the season. Positive signs but don’t think they’ll make the play offs this season

dakir.thanveer2mo ago

Looking at their squad, they seem to have a strong XI but overall squad depth seems susceptible. Could be why they won't be in line for promotion

jonny2mo ago

I view Derby in that 6th-12th pack who will likely be separated by 10 points, could easily see a play-off run but do think the Rams are going to struggle against the top sides

eoin2mo ago

Toughest championship season to predict in years, derby fall in the 5-15 range and can't be much more accurate than that

martin.crawford2mo ago

I rule out nothing with John Eustace, the guy’s a miracle worker. Promotion is long overdue for Derby as a club

matthew.johns2mo ago

Don’t necessarily know if they will finish as high as fifth, but I think the two extra play-off spots provide a huge opportunity for clubs like Derby - I think they will be in them!

josh.barker2mo ago

Takeover could help with play-offs if everything is sorted by January

leeclarke05082mo ago

As the squad stands they will be absolutely nowhere near the play offs even with the new format. One proper winger is Corey Blackett Taylor. Enough said...

callum_boyle2mo ago

You can make a case for any side contending for the play-offs. These lot are just okay and will finish top half. Like 11th maybe

johnverrall112mo ago

I’m really not sold on them this season. I think it’ll be mid table but I can’t see a promotion push. Just too many sides have stronger squads

chillout2mo ago

The expectation is rightly the play-offs - then it will be a lottery. Derby have a decent starting 11, but the squad remains relatively thin. Automatic promotion isn’t on the cards.

charlesjones2mo ago

Playoffs aren’t a lottery. The cream rises to the top - unless you’re spying on your opponents I guess
