It is their 42nd season in the second division of English football and their second consecutive season in the second tier following an 18th-placed finish in the previous campaign. Derby struggled against relegation for much of the season, but a run of just two defeats in the final 10 fixtures saw the club finish in 14th, their third highest finish in their respective division in the previous ten years. The Derby Evening Telegraph described the campaign as "Good in patches, poor in others, and ultimately frustrating." http://www.therams.co.uk/news/good-bad-frustrating/article-2037140-detail/article.html? therams.co.uk The good, bad and frustrating 19 April 2010 30 April 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20100422212712/http://www.therams.co.uk/news/good-bad-frustrating/article-2037140-detail/article.html 22 April 2010 live The season was Nigel Clough's first full season in the job following his appointment in January 2009. The club started the season with odds of 21/1 for the title, though the media prediction was that they would improve greatly on the previous campaign's struggles and push for a playoff place. https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/football-league/championship-preview-the-season-ahead-1766216.html Independent Championship preview: The season ahead 2 August 2009 London Tom Jones 1 May 2010 https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_1/8154723.stm BBC Sport Championship club-by-club guide 6 August 2009 30 April 2010 This proved overly optimistic, however, as the club battled relegation from the Championship for the fifth time in eight seasons. Although the club never fell into the bottom three during the campaign (the lowest position was 20th) it spent just six fixtures in the top half of the table, only one of which was achieved after August. A lack of consistency was one reason; not only in results (the club never recording more than two consecutive victories) but also in the club's inability to field a consistent team selection. A club record 40 players represented the club, with only 6 players making 30 or more league starts, and an over-reliance on loanees (14 players signing temporary deals over the season) also played a part, as did injuries; one match, away to Ipswich Town in October, came at the height of the club's injury problems and saw them unable to even name a full complement of substitutes such was the lack of players available. A purple patch of form in February saw the club end local rivals Nottingham Forest's 19 match unbeaten run, inflict eventual-Champions Newcastle United's biggest defeat of the season (3–0) and hit five in a match for the first time in three years when they edged out Preston North End 5–3 at Pride Park, but a run of just three wins in twelve through the end of February until the end of April, ensured that safety was not achieved until the 44th fixture of the season after a 1–1 draw at home to relegation rivals Crystal Palace. One bright point to the campaign came with the reserves successful The Central League Division One Central Section campaign, which saw them finish top and become the first Derby reserves team to win the title since Arthur Cox's reserves claimed it in the 1985–86 season. It was also the first time a Derby County reserves side had won its respective division since the club successfully captured the Premier Reserve League in 2000–01.

Derby City Council proposed the raising of £26m through an extra levy of local businesses to help fund the expansion of Pride Park to 45,000 from its current 33,500 capacity for the tournament, which would be reduced to 35,000 to 38,000 after its completion. Carolyn Spencer, from the Derby Federation of Small Businesses, said: "Hairdressers won't benefit, ladies clothes shops, greetings cards shops are not going to benefit. So why should they pay an extra supplementary business rate on top of everything else that they pay to something that is going to give them nothing back whatsoever?"Firms angry at stadium tax plan BBC Sport.com https://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/derbyshire/8344948.stm? 5 November 2009 30 April 2010 Ultimately Derby was not chosen as one of the host cities for England's World Cup bid. December Derby opened the month with a 2–2 draw at home to second placed West Bromwich Albion. D. J. Campbell made his debut as an 86th minute sub and scored a 94th-minute equaliser on his debut. Campbell's Leicester teammate Paul Dickov had given Derby a first half lead before two controversial West Brom goals in the last 10 minutes had looked to turn the game on its head. A 0–0 draw away to Preston North End extended the Rams unbeaten run to three, their longest unbeaten sequence of the campaign, though it also extended their winless away run to 13 matches and 8 months. The run was ended the following Saturday when Chris Porter, who had only returned to the first team after 9 months out as a 71st-minute substitute for Paul Dickov at Preston, scored in the 77th minute in a 1–0 win away at Watford after again coming on as a substitute. Although the Rams remained 17th in the table after the result, it stretched the gap over the relegation places to 7 points and took them to within 7 points of the playoffs. The club's mini revival came to a halt with 0–2 home defeats to Doncaster Rovers and Blackpool over the festive period before a 0–0 draw away to league leaders Newcastle United saw the club end 2009 5 points clear of the drop zone.

The aim was to use the team as a basis in which to blood young players for an eventual role in the first team, something which the lack of a reserve side in recent seasons had hindered. The club entered into The Central League Division One Central Section, thought not the Central League Cup, and played its home games at Alfreton Town's Impact Arena. http://www.ripleyandheanornews.co.uk/sport/local-sport/alfreton-town-to-host-rams-reserves-fixtures-1-726808 Ripley And Heanor News.co.uk Alfreton Town to host Rams Reserves fixtures 23 July 2009 2 November 2013 The reserves first season back proved successful as they claimed The Central League Division One Central Section title, finishing a point clear of runners-up Burton Albion, and became the first Derby County reserves side to win its respective division since the club successfully captured the Premier Reserve League in 2000–01.
