The Last time Derby County went near the bottom, they went on to win promotion.



Derby County could drop to the bottom of the Championship tonight if results go against them

They sit 22nd on six points ahead of their game away to Cardiff City.

Bottom club Wigan Athletic face a home game against Wolverhampton Wanderers tonight while Rotherham United, who are 23rd after their home defeat by Cardiff on Saturday , are away at Huddersfield Town.



You have to go back 10 years for the last time Derby found themselves in a lower position in the second tier of English football than they currently occupy.


Back in September 2006, Billy Davies' team lost 2-1 at home to Roy Keane's Sunderland to slip to 23rd but they recovered to win promotion.

They reached the play offs where they saw off Southampton before they beat West Bromwich Albion in the final.
