viewpoint”I don’t regret the Rams decision, and Derby County star will be crucial at Stoke City.” DerbyshireLive provides you with the most recent Gary Rowett column, which examines this weekend’s match and the history of switching from Pride Park to the PottersShar
This weekend’s matchup pits Stoke against Derby County, two teams I know very well, and, oddly, I’m covering for Sky Sports. After conducting a lot of research on both teams, I believe the most evident finding right now is that Derby’s away performance has improved with a few draws.
I’m sure that’ll boost confidence, but of course, the challenge is to win some of those games away from home. Stoke haven’t been fantastic at home, either. They probably surprised most people at the start of the season, as they had a young coach in Steven Schumacher, who had finished the previous season quite well.
Okay, they didn’t finish where they wanted to be, but it didn’t look like he’d started this season horrendously because, after three or four games, it’s very difficult to judge. Suddenly, we’re then talking about Stoke going down a different route again. I’m sure that sort of inconsistency gives Derby an opportunity, but again, it’s the Championship. It’s always difficult to go away from home. If Derby had a full-strength side, I’d actually really fancy them for this game.
