Does Derby County still have a new Years hangover, for the second year in a row, has the gypsie curse returned, or are the players and staff at Derby County just not up to the pressures and demands of the Championship?
Multi million pound signings have made little or no impact on the Promotion chances of Derby County, nor has bringing in the former head coach of Real Madrid, so what is the problem at the Ipro?
Stand in head coach Darren Wassell changed the formation for the latest poor showing at home against a team which has relegation worries, but this also made little difference to the amount of chances created by the Rams.
Was the sacking of Paul Clement just a knee jerk reaction?, was he a scape goat ? or are there further underlying problems at the club. Is there dis-harmony among players?
Whatever the reason may be, a Derby County squad which were top of the Championship table and looking favourites for automatic promotion just seven weeks ago are now struggling to hold on to even a play-off place, dropping to sixth place following the 1-0 loss to MK Dons.
