They have third place wrapped up at this point, with Burnley about to confirm second by beating Burnley. It's been some turnaround under McLaren and he'll deserve a huge amount of credit if he can get them promoted. QPR only need a point to confirm their playoff place, but they're doing their best to screw that up, as are Ipswich, Bournemouth and Brighton.
Yeah QPR have no form at all going into the playoffs. That said, I think Derby will be happy to have secured third. The teams battling out for sixth are a bit weaker than QPR and Wigan I would think.
I saw the goal on TV. A shot from distance, but it must have taken a deflection, or else the keeper was on drugs. The keeper just shepherded the ball carefully inside the post, waving his hands as if it was going wide. It looked very odd.Quote:

Hendrick's goals at 0:30 and 1:35.
Both good goals second one was a cracker.
Very lucky to escape with a yellow card after a bad tackle on Rohan Ince. Ince had two tough but fair tackles on Hendrick earlier, won the ball cleanly both times though.
Scored Derby's fourth. Played a one-two in the middle of the penalty area and his shot took a deflection on the way in.
Goal!

1:28 Absolutely fantastic goal by Hendrick.
Thought he was fortunate with the yellow card - it wasn't a vicious tackle but it was dangerous. Overall, I thought he was superb. He is really tidy in possession and from the goal you can see he's able to pick up the tempo and make things happen as well. He played all over midfield today - the Derby midfielders all seem to be able to rotate at will, and it caused havoc for Brighton. Really impressive.
4 very good goals by Derby.
The hype is going to be enormous. You could even see that from the celebrations at the end. Wigan or QPR's preparations will be far more low key having both been in the PL so recently. Wigan don't hype up their football team anyway. Hope Derby can deal with it.
All McLaren has to do is tell a joke and the players will sober up in a flash.
It could be pretty funny if he told it in his Dutch accent though.
I hope you noticed when all the play-off guys flew in :)
Haha I did actually. It was good that they saw sense and gave them an extra bit of time as I suggested :o

Hendrick could be set for the big move that his form, potential and International status merits, with a move to Watford a possibility - according to The Watford Observer.
Read that yesterday alright. I was about to post it but I said to myself it has to be a non-runner. That would be a sobering development if there was ever one. The article in the Watford Observer was interesting enough though, well this bit was...Quote:

I can't say I was ever in danger of doing that.
Signs long term deal at Derby. McClaren says this could be their best signing of the summer.

Coleman to big team.
Doyle to QPR
Treacy new contract
Hendrick to PL team.
McCarthy to big team.
Hoolahan to PL team.
Any Irish player moving to a decent standard continental League.
Any Irish player moving to a PL team.
David Forde to Bundesliga.
Stephen Ireland coming back.
I told myself I'd be happy if just one of these things happened but it's looking like players moving to Championship teams is going to be the height of transfer excitement this summer. Hopefully Brady and Gibson can remain fully fit for more than 3 weeks at a time, at least.
Got to say I'm disappointed that for whatever reason - be it lack of ambition/interest - that whatever players we do have in the Championship who can make the step up to the PL (Reid, Hendrick) sign new long-term contracts. It sucks!
Could be an exciting year for Derby and Hendrick is clearly a massive part of their plans. It's easy to forget that it's not long since he was struggling to break back into the side after injury. The last thing he needs at this point is to join Burnley or some other potential yo-yo club and struggle to break into their side. He's young, content and enjoying his football and has a nice long term deal secured for himself, there are no negatives. His sensible attitude reminds me of James McCarthy a bit, albeit Wigan were in the PL. He seems to know what's best for him right now.
Nice opening day goal for Hendrick, ball cut in from the right to him just inside the area, clipped the ball over the keeper to the far post for a late winner!
6 goals in 11 starts for Hendrick. Hopefully he can keep that kind of form up and become the goalscoring midfielder Darron Gibson once threatened to be.

Perhaps not the best defending, acres of space and plenty of time
but he showed a bit of class with the finish.
Two goals in two games now, great start to the season
Showing good goalscoring form. You never know, he might end up in the PL by midnight on September 1st. Not that another season at Derby would do him any harm. It's easy to forget that this lad is just 22.Quote:

Interview from Saturday. Does anybody else think he sounds very like Richard Dunne?

Yes there is a define similarity.
I was looking for videos of Richard Dunne being interviewed to compare, stumbled across this one, love the bit at
at about 1.10.

Light hearted Q&A session on opening match day programme. Quite a comprehensive response to the beans/tennis question!

Hendrick has been taken off with an injury, midway through the first half.
Suspected dislocated shoulder, so definitely out of the internationals. He doesn't have much luck with injuries.
Good news for Hendrick as he does not require surgery. He should return to action this month.
