Now, though, it’s about bringing in players that can help Derby establish themselves back in the second tier, whilst Ipswich Town have shown that aiming for a double promotion is a possibility, even if it shouldn’t be expected.To be competitive in the Championship, it’s clear that the Rams will need some new arrivals, and it will be interesting to see what sort of approach they have in the market.
As outlined above, generally Warne favoured a tried and trusted method in League One, with several new recruits over the age of 30 coming in to compliment the academy graduates.And, speaking to FLW, Derby fan pundit Shaun explained why it’s so important that the club strike the right balance with who they bring in, as he urged them to get players who are at their peak, ensuring they can make an instant impact on the team.“We need to start recruiting players of a good age. We’ve got some good youngsters, and some good older heads at the club, but we really need players in the 24-28 bracket. The ones that will come in and hit the ground running. They’ll already have some experience under their belt, but they’re not too old that they’re always breaking down with injuries, which we’ve had a lot of this year.
“Those players in that prime age, they might be expensive and tough to get, but that’s what we need to be looking for if we want to progress and become a solid Championship side again, and then try to get promoted.”
