Misery again at the Britannia Stadium
Derby County made a few changes tonight after Sunday's lack lustre performance against Southampton. Lee Grant made his first appearance of the season in goal and promptly saw the ball nestling in the back of his net on two occasions.

Inigo Idiakez started the game on the subs bench and new Rams team Captain Matt Oakley but the Rams fell to a Stoke side and there still is much to do before Billy Davies can say he has a side that can compete in this league.

Rams fans bought their entire allocation of Tickets at the Britannia Stadium but very few stopped until the end of the game, many streaming out of the ground way before the final whistle.

Billy Davies has warned Rams fans that it will take time to build a side but the season is just two games old and there are very few plus points to come out of those matches.
