Was that the cup replay?Remember going there on a Tuesday night in 1977 only for it to be called off when we got there!
O' Keefe broke his leg in a 2-1 win at Chesterfield in October and although we carried on winning for a while, it tailed off from when Wolves beat us 2-1 at Molyneux in November. At that point we were second in the league.We made a terrible start to the 85/86 season and the feel good factor from the previous season had well and truly gone, I don't think we were playing badly it was just getting a feel of the new league and a higher level of ability. I didn't go to Derby but remember being staggered when the result came over the radio, it certainly got us up and running,didn't we comfortably beat Swanses the game after?.
We even threatened a promotion challenge at one point but maybe a lack of depth in the squad curtailed it. I know for a time Eamon O'Keefe was on fire.
Remember it like it was yesterday. Went on a Standerwicks coach. Must have been about 25 of them in convoy.Went in 1968, the penultimate game of season and we needed a win to match QPR.
We were under the cosh for majority of second half as Brian Clough promised a grand stand last home game.
Suddick broke away late in the game and placed a beauty into top corner of net . 3-1 and on to Huddersfield.
I wagged school to go to that, our coach was stopped and turned round en route. Teacher was onto me so didn’t risk the rearranged date.Remember going there on a Tuesday night in 1977 only for it to be called off when we got there!
Emmon O’Keefe scored both for us. Spent the weekend with Derby fans evening sports paper headline was O’Keefe sinks Rams meeting same group on Friday.Remember going there in 1985 and we beat the Rams 2-1 - love to know the scorers that day if anyone has that sort of info?

If it's the same midweek game we took numbers in that massive kop end & 95% decked out in ski hats which were all the rage.I went to the Wolves game,Nov.5th 1985 sat in the Jack Ireland stand? miles away from the pitch and two other stands condemned. Massive kop behind one end.
Lost replay 3-2. Televised (highlights). Think Barry Hales got a couple for Derby.It was yes we drew here 0-0
Remember the first leg. Cold and foggy about lunchtime. We were 3-0 down at HT in the replay and came back to 3-2. Highlights were on TV that night.It was yes we drew here 0-0
OMG remember that game. We went on Standerwicks from on Chapel Street. Used them for any away game we travelled too as only 14 at the time, including the next one at HuddersfieldRemember it like it was yesterday. Went on a Standerwicks coach. Must have been about 25 of them in convoy.
Have they digitally enhanced the pitch by putting grass on it?Remember going there in 1985 and we beat the Rams 2-1 - love to know the scorers that day if anyone has that sort of info?

Yes I was there too, I remembered it as being more comfortable. Didn’t we play them the first away match of the 68/69 season too and get a 1–1?Went in 1968, the penultimate game of season and we needed a win to match QPR.

This has been talked about many times before. I was on the same "school trip" as @20togoWent in 1968, the penultimate game of season and we needed a win to match QPR.

Yep , cracking goal from Tony Green.Yes I was there too, I remembered it as being more comfortable. Didn’t we play them the first away match of the 68/69 season too and get a 1–1?
I went to that match. I remember that a young Mike Davies played on the right wing and was superb, repeatedly beating their defenderRemember going there in 1985 and we beat the Rams 2-1 - love to know the scorers that day if anyone has that sort of info?

Remember going with a few others in cars and had to beat the same hasty retreat. All their lot were waiting for us on the playing field behind the away end pretending that they were playing football so the police wouldn’t move them on5th September, 1985, O'Keefe got both goals, one of them a penalty, as you say. I remember it well, we were expected to get nothing and had to make a hasty retreat back to the car at full time, the locals were not impressed!
Yes I was right behind the goal. Cracking goal from distance to equalise after John O'Hare had put them one up.Yep , cracking goal from Tony Green.
