Coca-Cola Divisions: Derby County - Preview

Nickname: The Rams
Ground: Pride Park
Capacity: 33,597
Last season: 20th
Manager: George Burley (March 2003)

In: Morten Bisgaard (FC Copenhagen), Mo Konjic (Coventry), Tommy Smith (Sunderland), Inigo Idiakez (Rayo Vallecano).

Out: Chris Palmer (Notts County), Youl Mawene, Manel, Jimmy Turner, Lewis Hunt (Southend), Izale McLeod (MK Dons, undisclosed), Noel Whelan (Aberdeen).

Verdict: Having staved off relegation last time around, Derby could be a surprise package this season after a summer of clever purchases from boss George Burley. Outside bet for a play-off spot.
