Derby County Season Preview: Rams Aiming for Promotion Push
Recent Form and Statistics
Derby County have been busy preparing for the upcoming season, with several new signings and a new manager in place. The Rams will be looking to improve on their 11th-place finish last season and challenge for promotion to the Premier League.
In their previous campaign, Derby County won 18, drew 13, and lost 17 of their 48 league matches. They finished 11 points behind the play-off places and will be hoping to close that gap this time around.
Top Goalscorers
Derby County's top goalscorer last season was Tom Lawrence, who netted 12 times in all competitions. Lawrence has since moved on to Rangers, so the Rams will be looking for someone else to step up and fill the void.
Other key players for Derby County last season included goalkeeper David Marshall, defender Curtis Davies, and midfielder Max Bird. All three players are expected to be important members of the squad again this season.
Fixtures and Schedule
Derby County will begin their season on Saturday, August 6, with a home match against Reading. They will then face a tough test in their second game of the season, away to Fulham.
The Rams' full fixture list for the 2022/23 season can be found on the club's official website.
