We Welcome the Tractor Boys to The Ipro Stadium on Saturday and we take a look back at games between the two sides.
It has to be said but the Rams don’t historically perform well against Ipswich Town. The very first game was on Saturday November 6th 1954, with Derby running out winners 2-0. A victory that wouldn’t be repeated until three years later, on the 21st November 1959.
The 1960-61 season was an annus horribilis for Derby County against Ipswich. In fact the season started with four straight defeats and the second of those defeats was 4-1 to Ipswich. Things didn’t get any better when the Rams visited Portman Road, Derby again losing 4-1.
On a brighter note Derby managed the double over Ipswich in the 1970-71 season. A few seasons later was possibly Derby’s greatest moment against Ipswich beating them 6-2 at Portman Road on the final day of the season to secure fourth place in the First division (now Premiership).
Getting back to more recent times and Ipswich were again giving the Rams problems when going in at half time 4-1 down at Pride Park. It was at this point Steve McClaren, about to take up the reigns as manager, but not yet officially appointed, gave a half time team talk even Brian Clough would have been proud of. Derby came out for the second period and secured a 4-4 draw. Derby again had belief and the rest as they say is history.
Over all Derby County have won 24 of the 75 matches between the sides, Ipswich winning 32 and 19 games have ended in a draw...
