Derby County 1-0 Oxford United: Rams win to stay in play-off hunt

By Total Football News

The distance to second-tier salvation could grow wider later in the day if West Bromwich Albion beat Preston.

Meanwhile, Derby’s victory moved John Eustace’s team to within two points of Hull City in the play-off spots above them, although that gap could be widened if the sixth-placed Tigers beat Birmingham City later in the day.

Oxford were left exposed for the 22nd-minute opener after a long throw into Derby’s box

Stoke City manager Mark Robins told BBC Radio Stoke:

“How did I see the game? It was a nothing first half, but they had better chances than us.

“On Good Friday it was a really good win. Then coming into this one as we come to the end of the season, I’m looking for more.

“And really, I’m left disappointed because we’ve certainly not done enough with the ball, but

Derby County fan view: The day I fell in love with the Rams

I remember it as if it was yesterday.

The 12th of March 2011. Derby County vs Swansea City. A game that, on paper, most would deem your average Championship fixture.

However, for seven-year-old me, it was about to become my fondest memory supporting the Rams.

Weeks earlier, I’d come home from school to my mum, dad, and brother surrounding the kitchen table, pushing a pretty formal looking letter in my

The rousing win rekindles Derby’s play-off push after they had lost

Derby head coach John Eustace:

“First half the gaps between front and back were too big which was disappointing. Every time we won the ball back, we lost a duel or were a little slower in possession which gave them the emphasis of the game.

“But they didn’t rally cause us any issues. Second half we changed one or two things and our shape was much more connected.

“We spoke

It was less than four years ago that Derby were just a week away from going out of business.

Derbyshire property developer David Clowes bought the club out of administration after the Rams were relegated to League One.

Liam Rosenior, who is now manager of Chelsea in the Premier League, was relied on as interim boss to build a squad from scratch – having had only five players on the

Both of these sides had been knocked out of the FA Cup last weekend with Preston losing at home to Wigan and the Rams losing 3-1 to Leeds at Pride Park.

Yet only one bounced back from that disappointment with Derby hitting their straps early on and largely keeping a flat Preston outfit on the backfoot all afternoon.

The chances, such as they were in a goalless first half, mostly

Derby County opinion: What Rams fans can expect from Oscar Fraulo

By Total Football News

A move to Pride Park is a great chance for Oscar Fraulo to reignite his career, according to German journalist Kevin Schulte.

Derby signed the 22-year-old Danish midfielder from German Bundesliga side Borussia Monchengladbach on a three-and-a-half-year deal for a compensation fee, thought to be around £300,000.

Fraulo played only 40 minutes of football across four league games for Gladbach this season and was in the final months of his

What a year 2025 was for Derby County.

It began with a thumping 4-2 defeat at Hillsborough by Sheffield Wednesday, which included a goal from inside his own half by Josh Windass.

At that time, there were serious rumblings from supporters about the Rams’ trajectory… it was simply going south.

Despite a win at home on Boxing Day 2024 against West Brom at Pride Park, that was only their seventh

Despite the frustration of an entirely avoidable red card, Derby will have finished the happier of the two sides, given they played almost all of the second half with a numerical disadvantage.

And while Ward’s second bookable offence, for an unnecessary foul on Patrick Roberts, which followed a first for kicking the ball away at a Birmingham free-kick, undoubtedly cost his side, there will be some satisfaction that they were
