It has been ten months since Stephen Pearson's victory at Wembley put Derby County into the Premier League, however the Rams are back where they started.
They have achieved just one win all season and have scored a pitiful 16 goals, which averages out at just one goal for every two games!
The BBC Sports Page describes Derby's time in the league as "A campaign that started dismally and got progressively worse" which ended on Saturday with the quickest relegation in the history of the Premier League.
Sportingo asks the question; Are Derby actually the worst team ever, or at least the worst team ever to play in the top division since the formation of the Premiership/Premier League in 1992?
The facts speak for themselves, the Rams have certainly failed to prove themselves this time round, they have been an embarrasment. Relegation appeared to be a sure thing for Derby after suffering defeats to Liverpool, Spurs and Arsenal in the opening weeks.
Team manager Paul Jewell certainly agrees! The Times Online quoted him in saying:
“We’re a million miles away from being a Premier League team, that is the worst performance I’ve ever seen”.
Sunderland became the worst team in Premier League history two years ago with 15 points from 38 games. Derby look set to shatter that record with points to spare!
