Pierre has been with the Rams since October of last year and has impressed on many occasions during that time. It was a shock to see him not in the squad on Tuesday to play Arsenal, but Pierre responded by putting in a telling performance in the reserve team on Thursday night, as they beat Fulham by two goals to nil, Pierre scoring one of the goals.
Ducrocq has said in a statement to local newspaper The Derby Evening Telegraph, that "English football is very enjoyable and, hopefully, I can help Derby stay in the Premiership". He was also very impressed with the off-field aspects of life in Derbyshire, saying. " I love it in Derby. I have a lovely house here and I really enjoy the way of life".
It now remains to be seen if Pierre can produce the performances that will persuade John Gregory to offer him a permanent deal at Pride Park. The real deciding point must surely be if the Rams can cling on to Premiership football for next season.
