To be honest I think they will just stay up, but only by way of their early season form. I think Leicester had the highest points total to go down with 52, but usually 46-47 points is enough. Given that Derby only need about 11 points, although that's as many as they got in their memorable Premiership season...

Clough certainly seems to have lost the squad, no matter what Savage says publicly. You can't keep on coming out and berating your players to the press. Fair enough the first time he did, but he got no reaction from it, which suggests they don't want to play for him. And to top it off they got comfortably beaten by both their arch-rivals within weeks of each other.

League One is no plain sailing, we struggled (although in fairness we had Megson in charge) but look at the top of the Championship now, Norwich, Swansea, Leeds, Forest, Leicester. All of whom have recently been in League One. Maybe it could be good for Derby? ;)

Based on current form for last eight games and not forgetting they still had commons for most of that I can genuinely see them going down, they look like a team who are going to struggle to find a win anywhere at the moment and have no goal threat whatsoever.

They are averaging 0.62 points per game it's going to be really tight.

My money is on The sheep, the Dingles and Preston to go down.

On Davies you only have to look at where Preston and Derby are now and how we are doing to realise he massively overachieves wherever he goes.

He made some bad purchases but he had to take risks that Derby side getting promoted was a miracle they were struggling before he arrived much the same as Preston and us.
