The 2014–15 Derby County F.C. season was the 109th edition in the Football League and 116th season overall of football played by Derby County F.C., an English football club based in Derby, Derbyshire.[1][2] Their third-place finish in the 2013–14 season and losing out to Queens Park Rangers in the play-off final means it was their seventh consecutive season in the Championship, and it was their 47th season overall in the second division of English football.[3] It will be Steve McClaren's first full season as head coach of the team.[4]

Overview

Derby County played their league games in the Championship in the 2014-15 season,[5] the fixtures were announced on 18 June 2014.[6] The season began on 9 August 2014 and concluded on 2 May 2015[6] For the majority of their league campaign, Derby County were placed around the top positions in the league, being in first place on three separate occasions. However, a collapse in form from March saw them drop from first place to eventually finishing eighth.

Derby entered the League Cup in the first round, the draw for this was announced on 17 June 2014.[7] Derby were in the northern half of the draw and were one of the seeded teams. They were drawn an away tie against non-seeded, League Two side Carlisle United.[8][9] After defeating Carlisle, Derby went through to the second round of the competition. They were one of the seeded teams in the draw and they were drawn to play Charlton Athletic in the second round.[10] They defeated Charlton Athletic and in the third round faced Reading. Derby progressed through to the fourth round of the competition after defeating Reading,[11] and in the fourth round draw they were given an away tie at another Championship team, which was Fulham.[12] After managing to defeat Fulham away from home, Derby were drawn at home to Premier League club Chelsea in the quarter-finals.[13] They exited the competition at this stage after a 3–1 home defeat to Chelsea.[14]

Derby entered the FA Cup at the third round stage. The draw for this was made on 8 December 2014, and Derby were drawn to play Conference Premier side Southport at home. After winning their third round tie, they were drawn to play at home to either Chesterfield or Scunthorpe United in the fourth round draw.[15] Their third round fixture had to go to a replay which Chesterfield won, therefore confirming that Derby County's fourth-round match was versus fellow Derbyshire side Chesterfield.[16] They made it through to the fifth round, where they were drawn another home tie, playing Championship team Reading.[17] Derby were knocked out of the FA Cup in the fifth round after losing the tie to Reading.[18]

Pre-season

The club's preparations for the season started with the players returning to training on 25 June 2014.[19] Derby County arranged their first four pre-season fixtures against non-league teams and they were announced on 27 May 2014.[19] The club also announced a further pre-season fixture versus League One side Notts County,[20] and another versus League Two club Burton Albion.[21] A behind closed doors friendly against Northampton Town was also arranged, however this replaced the fixture again non-league side Mickleover Sports, which because of this became an under 21s fixture.[22] On 9 June 2014, the club confirmed a friendly against Russian Premier League side Zenit St Petersburg on 22 July, as part of a six-day training camp in Austria.[23] They also confirmed a pre-season friendly against Bosnia and Herzegovina club Slavija Sarajevo on 25 July whilst in Austria.[24] A home friendly, announced on 13 June 2014, against Scottish Championship team Rangers was played at the iPro Stadium on 2 August 2014.[25]

Derby started their pre-season well, winning four and drawing one of their first five friendly matches. However, they faced defeat for the first time when they lost their friendly against Zenit St Petersburg in their first match of their Austria tour.[26] In the match versus Zenit, new signing George Thorne picked up an injury and was substituted in the first half. On 24 July 2014, it was revealed that Thorne suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury in his left knee, which would see him ruled out for up to nine months.[27] Overall from Derby's nine first team friendlies they won seven, drew one, and lost one.[26]

Derby County retained 21 players from the previous season, these were players still under contract going into the new season.[28] Jamie Ward and John Eustace had one-year extension options on their current contracts which both players used.[29] During the pre-season months, Derby agreed new contracts to several current players. On 25 June 2014, Lee Naylor agreed a new contract, having completed a short-term stay last season.[30] On 26 June 2014, midfielder Jeff Hendrick signed a new four-year contract with Derby to keep him until the end of the 2017-18 season.[31] The following day, Craig Forsyth also signed a new four-year contract with Derby.[32] Defender Jake Buxton signed a new three-year contract on 30 June 2014.[33] On 1 July 2014, Will Hughes followed his teammates by extending his contract as well, with a new four-year deal.[34] On 25 June 2014, Derby County received and immediately rejected, an undisclosed bid from Burnley for 2013-14 player of the year winner Craig Bryson.[35] On 3 July 2014, Bryson confirmed he will be staying at the club by agreeing a new five-year contract, a deal which would see him stay until the summer of 2019.[36] Young forward Mason Bennett became the last player before the season began to commit to a new contract, by agreeing a new four-year deal at the club on 29 July 2014.[37]

In the pre-season transfer window, Derby County brought in several players for the first team and youth teams too. Derby's first deal was announced on 4 June 2014, with young goalkeeper Jonathan Mitchell joining from Newcastle United on a free transfer.[38] With his contract with Newcastle expiring at the end of June, Mitchell officially joined Derby County from 1 July 2014, at the start of the summer transfer window.[39] The second transfer was another free, Kosovan attacking midfielder Alban Bunjaku, who was previously at La Liga club Sevilla, signed for Derby on 10 June 2014.[40] On 25 June 2014, Derby announced that Zak Whitbread agreed a one-year deal to join the club on a permanent basis, he was previously at Derby County for the 2013-14 season on loan.[30] On 1 July 2014, the first day of the transfer window opening, Derby signed Alefe Santos on a free transfer, after he turned down a new contract at his previous club Bristol Rovers.[41] On 10 July 2014, Derby agreed a deal to sign right back Cyrus Christie on a three-year contract.[42] He was out of contract at his previous club Coventry City, however the clubs agreed compensation for him since he came through Coventry's academy and was under 23 years old. The compensation fee was undisclosed.[42] During pre-season, Spanish attacking midfielder and youth international Iván Calero joined Derby on a trial period. Following his trial, on 18 July 2014 he agreed a two-year permanent deal with the club, with an option of a further year.[43] Two bids were made for West Brom midfielder George Thorne, who was at Derby on loan last season, to try to bring him to the club again.[44][45] Even with the player himself offering a formal transfer request on two occasions,[46][47] both undisclosed bids were rejected. Weeks after this, on 18 July 2014, Derby County and West Brom agreed a fee for Thorne.[48] The following day, after agreeing personal terms and passing a medical, Thorne joined Derby on a four-year contract.[49] On 1 August 2014, Derby signed forward Shaq McDonald, who had been on trial during pre-season. He agreed a two-year deal.[50] Derby continued to bring in new players in the transfer window, and on 4 August 2014 Leon Best joined on a season-long loan deal from Blackburn Rovers.[51] On 6 August, Derby agreed a deal to bring in Real Madrid midfielder Omar Mascarell on a season-long loan.[52]

Several of Derby's players had come to the end of their contracts in the previous season and were therefore released by the club. The only transfer away from the club after this came on 23 July 2014, when they loaned out under-21s defender Josh Lelan to League One club Swindon Town.[53] The loan deal would see him join Swindon for a month until 23 August.[53]

None of Derby County's under contract players were sold in pre-season, however Derby turned down a bid for right back Kieron Freeman on 16 July 2014.[54] The bid was from Sheffield United, which was one of the clubs he was loaned out to last season.[54]

There was an addition in the ownership of the club on 28 May 2014. The club announced that Derby-born businessman, Mel Morris, had become a new owner and director of Derby County and therefore became a new member of the board of directors.[55] He was previously a director of the club in 2006 and 2007. Morris was also a shareholder in, and non-executive chairman of King, the company behind the highly successful smartphone game Candy Crush Saga.[55] During pre-season, Derby County's academy was improved to try to improve the club's youth development. Following this on 25 July 2014 they achieved category one status, meaning their youth players will compete in the Under 21 Premier League and Under 18 Premier League for the first time.[56] In the final week before the season began, Steve McClaren, Paul Simpson and Eric Steele all agreed new contracts which run until summer 2017.[57]

August

During August, Derby County played seven fixtures including five League games and two in the League Cup. They won both cup games to progress to the third round. In the league they won two, drew two, and lost only one game, giving them a seventh-place position at the end of August.

On 25 August 2014, Derby County agreed a loan deal to sign defender Ryan Shotton from Stoke City, with a view to a permanent move.[58] On 29 August 2014, Derby brought in another player on loan with Liverpool forward Jordon Ibe joining the club on a season-long loan.[59]

Some players were let out on loan from the club, but no players left Derby permanently during August. On 12 August 2014, Mason Bennett joined League One side Bradford City for a half-season loan.[60] On 15 August 2014, Irish duo Conor Sammon and Mark O'Brien went out on loan to Ipswich Town and Motherwell respectively. Sammon's loan was for the rest of the season, whilst O'Brien was sent out until January.[61][62] On 29 August 2014, defender Josh Lelan, who was already out on loan, extended his deal at Swindon Town by a further month.[63]

Two players already at the club agreed new contracts. On 14 August 2014, Jamie Ward agreed a new two-year contract at Derby, which would extend his stay at the club until the summer of 2016.[64] On 30 August 2014, Head Coach Steve McClaren revealed that last season's top scorer Chris Martin had agreed a new four-year deal with the club.[65]

Kit

Derby County's kit manufacturer for the 2014-15 season was Umbro.[140] This was the first season in a four-year deal after the previous deal with Italian sportswear company Kappa was terminated early. The contract with Kappa was supposed to last until the 2017-18 season,[141] however the club decided to switch to a different kit supplier.

The main shirt sponsor was online takeaway company, JUST EAT, and their logo will be on the front of the Derby County kits.[142] This was the first of a three-year deal to have the company sponsor the kit.[142]

The home kit was revealed on 3 July 2014.[143] The kit's simple design had traditional white top and black shorts, with a black round-neck collar.[143]

The away and third kits were revealed on 8 July 2014.[144] The away shirt was navy, as well as navy shorts and socks. The third kit design was an all yellow shirt, along with royal blue shorts and socks.[144]
