Season summary Derby County had high hopes going into the season after finishing fourth the previous season, but manager George Burley, who had transformed Derby from relegation candidates into promotion hopefuls, quit in June following the sale of young midfielder Tom Huddlestone to Tottenham Hotspur, without Burley's knowledge nor consent. His replacement, Phil Brown (in his first full-time managerial position) was unable to build on Burley's good work and their poor form dragged them into the relegation mire instead. He was sacked in January after a 6–1 thrashing against Coventry City in the league and a 3–1 defeat against League One side Colchester United in the FA Cup, with Derby languishing in 19th. Former coach Terry Westley stepped up as caretaker manager; despite no wins in his first five games, he was named as caretaker manager for the remainder of the season - Westley promptly won his first game two days later, 1–0 at home to Plymouth. Westley marginally improved Derby's form and they managed to confirm their Championship survival with a few games of the season to spare. Westley, however, was not offered the role of permanent manager; that went to former Preston North End boss Billy Davies. Derby's form was especially poor away from home, with only 2 away wins all season, a complete contrast from the previous season from which they won 12 away games including six in a row. Kit Derby changed both their kit manufacturer and sponsor this season, with Spanish company Joma producing the kits and the Derbyshire Building Society sponsoring the kits.http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Derby_County/Derby_County.htm Derby County - Historical Football Kits Final league table 2005–06 Football League Championship DER Players First-team squad Squad at end of seasonhttp://www.footballsquads.co.uk/eng/2005-2006/flcham/derby.htm FootballSquads - Derby County - 2005/06 1 ENG GK Lee CampCamp was born in Derby, England, and represented them at U-21 level, but also qualifies to represent Northern Ireland internationally and would make his full international debut for Northern Ireland in March 2011. 3 POL DF Tomasz Hajto 4 ENG DF Alan Wright on loan from Sheffield United 5 IRL DF Jeff Kenna 6 JAM DF Michael JohnsonJohnson was born in Nottingham, England, but also qualified to represent Jamaica internationally and made his international debut for Jamaica in 1999. captain 7 ENG FW Tommy Smith 8 DEN MF Morten Bisgaard 9 MAR FW Mounir El HamdaouiEl Hamdaoui was born in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, and represented them at U-21 level, but also qualifies to represent Morocco internationally and represented them at B level before making his full international debut for Morocco in February 2009. on loan from Tottenham Hotspur 10 ENG DF Pablo Mills 11 CAN FW Paul Peschisolido 12 ENG MF Paul Thirlwell 13 ENG GK Lee Grant 14 ENG DF Richard Jackson 15 ENG MF Adam Bolder 16 ENG DF Marc Edworthy 17 ENG DF Paul Boertien 18 ENG MF Seth Johnson 19 ENG MF Nathan Doyle 20 ENG FW Lee Holmes 21 SCO MF Michael McIndoe on loan from Doncaster Rovers 23 JAM DF Darren MooreMoore was born in Birmingham, England, but also qualified to represent Jamaica internationally through his parents and made his international debut for Jamaica in 1999. 24 ENG GK Kevin Poole 25 ENG DF Mitchell Hanson 27 ESP MF Iñigo Idiakez 28 ENG FW Giles BarnesBarnes was born in Barking and Dagenham, England, and represented them at U-19 level, but also qualifies to represent Jamaica internationally through his paternal grandparents and would make his international debut for Jamaica in May 2015. 29 ENG FW Lionel Ainsworth 30 WAL DF Lewin NyatangaNyatanga was born in Burton upon Trent, England, but also qualifies to represent Wales internationally through his mother and Zimbabwe through his father, and represented Wales at U-17 and U-21 level before making his international debut for Wales in March 2006. 32 ENG DF Miles Addison Left club during season 3 ENG DF Jamie Vincent to Millwall 3 ENG MF Peter Whittingham on loan from Aston Villa 4 ENG DF Andrew Davies on loan from Middlesbrough 5 BIH DF Muhamed Konjić retired 9 POL FW Grzegorz Rasiak to Tottenham Hotspur 9 TRI FW Stern John on loan from Coventry City 21 NIR DF Chris Turner to Sligo Rovers 22 ENG FW Dean Holdsworth to Weymouth 22 JAM FW Kevin LisbieLisbie was born in Hackney, England, but also qualifies to represent Jamaica internationally and made his international debut for Jamaica in 2002. on loan from Charlton Athletic 23 ENG FW Marcus Tudgay to Sheffield Wednesday 25 SEN MF Khalilou Fadiga on loan from Bolton Wanderers 25 BRA FW Elpídio Silva to Corinthians Alagoano 31 ENG MF Johnnie Jackson on loan from Tottenham Hotspur 32 ENG FW Dexter BlackstockBlackstock was born in Oxford, England, and represented them at U-18, U-19, and U-21 level, but also qualifies to represent Antigua and Barbuda internationally and made his international debut for Antigua and Barbuda in February 2012. on loan from Southampton 33 BRA DF Emerson Thome on loan from Wigan Athletic 34 ENG FW Danny Graham on loan from Middlesbrough Reserve squad 25 ENG DF Mitchell Hanson 31 ENG DF Karl Ashton References 3 Notes notes 3 2005-06 Derby County
