The start of August can mean only one thing. It’s time for the footy
to start a new season! We have enjoyed a pretty good sporting summer thus far
as well! Between Wimbledon, the Ashes, the Copa America and the Tour de France
as personal highlights, the break has gone quickly.
So today I thought I’d write up my season preview for our local
stars at Derby County! With the new season come new faces. First of all, the
new head coach, Paul Clement. He comes in from being Real Madrid’s long serving
assistant manager. We hope he can bring some success to this season and get us
that promotion we deserve!
One of his first decisions has been to promote Chris Baird to
captain. Along with that we have seen seven new signings join us over the
summer so far. It will be interesting to see how quickly the new look side will
gel together in competitive fixtures.
The first fixture of the season is away at Bolton. We will be
looking to take advantage of Bolton losing some key players over the summer to
start off the season in the best possible way – 3 points!
The first home game of the
season sees us take on Charlton and the stadium should be full and lively! With
the papers giving us the strongest squad on paper, we should hopefully be in
for a great season.
Target: Promotion.
