Derby County 1 - 1 Coventry City 2007-04-09 18:02:00 Highlights can be downloaded hereDerby captain Matt Oakley scored an acrobatic volley to salvage a pointagainst Coventry.Derby 1-1 CoventryBy Jourdan RhuleThe hosts were looking for a victory to enhance their hopes of automaticpromotion but were frustrated by a organised and physical Coventry side.The first half underlined the success of the Sky Blues' gameplan to restricttheir illustrious opponents. Their defence put their bodies on their line tostifle Derby's attacking options. Attractive opportunities for Giles Barnesand Steve Howard were deflected away from goal, while keeper Andy Marshallchipped in by turning away David Jones' intricate corner and pulling off aninstinctive save to deny Darren Moore's firm header late in the first half.But it must be stressed for as good as Coventry defended, Derby were alsovery wasteful. Jones drilled an early free kick straight at the wall andwasted a headed chance. Arturo Lupoli was also guilty when he fired over theball after being teed up Read more:County
Leicester City 1 - 1 Derby County 2007-04-06 17:57:00 Leicester staged a stirring second half fightback to claim a deserved pointagainst local rivals Derby.Leicester 1-1 DerbyBy Jourdan RhuleIn a sluggish opening 20 minutes, Derby coolly negotiated a spell ofharmless dominance from the hosts. Leicester probed away but never reallycreated openings that asked too much of the Derby defence. Frustration grewamongst the home supporters, as their attempt to find a breakthrough wasthen thwarted by referee Howard Webb on 22 minutes. Patrick Kisnorbo lookedset to reach a left wing cross into the box, but was victim to a clumsychallenge by Darren Moore. This ignited protests for a penalty that wereshrugged off by Webb to the disappointment of the City faithful. Derbyseized on Leicester's misfortune by edging ahead moments later. Craig Faganscored his first goal for the Rams when he pounced on Giles Barnes' crispthrough ball to beat Paul Henderson with a calmly placed finish from 10yards.A tussle for the decisive second goal then unfolded but neit Read more:County

City.Derby 3-1 CardiffBy Jourdan RhuleCardiff were in the ascendancy early on as Derby looked nervous. The hostswere struggling to contain Cardiff's attacking threat. Jay McEveley gaveaway a free kick in a dangerous position after 5 minutes with a sloppychallenge. Fortunately for him, Michael Chopra's attempt at goal wasthwarted by the Derby wall. Derby defender Dean Leacock was called intoaction on 10 minutes when he managed to block Chopra's shot from an acuteangle after the Bluebirds' leading scorer wrestled free in the area.

Simon Royce showed great confidence to save David Jones' 2ndminute free kick and was equal to Steve Howard's fierce header minuteslater. But then the tide turned and QPR prospered on the counter attack.They forced successive corners, but were unable to manufacture a genuinechance until Marc Nygaard rose highest at the back post to meet Lee Cook'sleft wing cross that he glanced over the bar. Growing in confidence, QPRcreated a second opportunity in as many minutes. Paul Furlong found space ina crowded penalty area to prod the ball goalward, only to see his shotstrike the post. And as the Derby defence froze, Martin Rowlands crept in atthe back post to head home the rebound. Furlong Read more:County

Birmingham City 1 - 0 Derby County 2007-03-09 22:48:00 Birmingham brought Derby's recent revival to an abrupt end as they battledto victory in a bruising Midlands derby.Birmingham 1-0 DerbyBy Jourdan RhuleThe game began in frantic fashion - Giles Barnes' fizzing 20 yard strike wasclawed away unconvincingly by Blues keeper Colin Doyle, before Gary McShefferywas unable to finish an inviting opportunity moments later. An unfortunateslip by Tyrone Mears was pounced on as McSheffery emerged into the area, butsome indecision on the ball by the forward allowed Bywater to come chargingout to confront the Blues striker and force him into a tentative prod thatsquirmed out of play.Both sides continued to plug away for the opening goal in what was a scrappyfirst half. Steve Howard met a right wing cross with a fierce header but itsailed over the bar, before Bendtner fashioned an encouraging opportunityfor the home side. The promising Danish striker shrugged off several Derbydefenders, but Bywater was equal to his stern left footed drive. From theres Read more:County

They opened the scoring after two minutes - David Jones, unmarkedat the far post, rifled home a teasing right-wing cross to lift the mood ofthe home crowd. And it went from bad to worse for Colchester, as ArturoLupoli ghosted in at the far post to meet Giles Barnes' precise cross with a firmleft-foot volley. Two-nil to the Rams. As a contest, it was all over after 30minutes - Barnes pounced on Steve Howard's flick-on before gliding past severalColchester defenders and slotting home from an acute angle.Derby could have gone further ahead, but Matt Oakley's rasping 20-yard drivedrifted wide and Howard's far post header looped over Read more:County

Sunderland 2 - 1 Derby County 2007-02-24 18:01:00 Match Report:Derby's courageous second-half fightback was in vain, as Sunderlandstruck in stoppage time to claim a deserved win over their promotion rivals.Sunderland 2-1 DerbyBy Jourdan RhuleThe first half was painful to watch for Rams fans as Sunderland controlled proceedings against a dismal Derby side. The Rams looked overwhelmed by the occasion and showed their opponents too much respect, allowing them time and space in possession.Connolly had the best chance in a tentative start. Receiving the ball unmarked on the left wing, he sauntered into the box, evading some tame Derby defending before drilling a shot narrowly wide of Stephen Bywater's far post. That was a sign of things to come. Sunderland continued to dominate, with Carlos Edwards looking dangerous on the right wing. Edwards played a key role in the incident leading to Sunderland's opener. His low cross on 24 minutes caused uncertainty in the Derby penalty area, as they struggled to clear their lines. Eagle-eyed refere Read more:County
Plymouth Argyle 2 - 0 Derby County 2007-02-17 18:01:00 On a disappointing afternoon on a very poor pitch Derby get knocked out by a Plymouth
team who clearly wanted the win more. There were many controversial decisions with two penalties given in the first half, one went in off the post and the other was saved. In the second half Darren Moore got two soft bookings, again controversial, he will miss the midweek Stoke game. In the last 10 minutes Derby went for it and were caught short in defense resulting in the second Plymouth goal. Derby can now concentrate on the league.Extended Highlights: Read more:County

Derby County 2 - 2 Hull City 2007-02-10 17:48:00 Phil Brown had the last laugh on his return to Pride Park as his gutsy Hull side rescued a priceless point to move out of the relegation zone and put the brakes on Derby's promotion charge.The opening 15 minutes saw both teams signal their intent. Derby seemed relaxed on the ball, passing it around in defence and building attacks through the vision of David Jones. Hull defended stoutly and looked promising on the counter, with the pace of Nicky Forster and strength of Jon Parkin keeping the Derby defence on their toes. Neither team, though, could muster a clear-cut chance.Boaz Myhill was the first keeper to be tested when he plucked Steve Howard's close-range header away from goal. Moments later, after some neat work on the left wing, Stephen McPhee held off Marc Edworthy to advance into the area and force a save from Steve Bywater at the near post. The game was opening up, and from a Hull corner on 26 minutes a frantic goalmouth scramble ensued. Despite a catalogue of desperate clea Read more:County
