Derby started the season well, winning their first 4 league games in August, which was also club's best league start since the 1905–06 season.http://www.thisisderbyshire.co.uk/story-13171283-detail/story.html thisisderbyshire Rams Make it Four out of Four 20 August 2011 19 September 2011 1 October 2012 https://web.archive.org/web/20121001194201/http://www.thisisderbyshire.co.uk/story-13171283-detail/story.html dead However, the club were knocked out of the first round of League Cup against League Two opposition for the third season in a row against Shrewsbury Town. Derby maintained their top 2 position in September, with the main highlight being a 2–1 win at local rivals Nottingham Forest, despite the fact that goalkeeper Frank Fielding gave away a penalty and was sent off after 67 seconds, Jeff Hendrick's winner in the game was his first goal in senior football. October and November were disappointing with Derby picking up only 1 win and 5 points out of a possible 30 as Derby fell to 15th place in the league, with a 4–0 defeat at rivals Leicester City at the start of the month, starting the slump in form. In mid-October, Nigel Clough and his backroom staff signed new 3 1 2-year contracts.Clough & Backroom Team Sign New Deals dcfc.co.uk http://www.dcfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10270~2482766,00.html? 17 October 2011 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20111018110227/http://www.dcfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0%2C%2C10270~2482766%2C00.html 18 October 2011 Derby picked up form in December and January, losing only twice in 9 games, picking up 17 points as Derby ended the month 12th peaking at 8th in mid-January. February was another disappointing month, where they picked up 1 point, scoring no goals with the club suffering their 2nd 4–0 defeat of the season at the hands of Southampton by the end of the month, Derby were 15th in the table. From the start of April to mid march, Derby picked up 14 points out a possible 21 which lifted Derby to 11th in the table, 5 points off the play-offs with 4 games remaining, Derby manager Nigel Clough however ruled out a play-off place, wishing there was more the 4 games left as the club were showing great form.Nigel Clough: The play-offs are just beyond our reach thisisderbyshire http://www.thisisderbyshire.co.uk/Nigel-Clough-play-offs-just-reach/story-15771123-detail/story.html 10 April 2012 18 April 2012 12 April 2012 https://web.archive.org/web/20120412185719/http://www.thisisderbyshire.co.uk/Nigel-Clough-play-offs-just-reach/story-15771123-detail/story.html dead However defeats to Middlesbrough and Cardiff City in 4 days ended the Derby's play-off chances. Derby finished the season 12th in the league, 11 points off the play-off players, with Nigel Clough being satisfied with the performances of the team, stating a lack of firepower as the reason why they fell short and a target to improve in 2012–13.http://www.thisisderbyshire.co.uk/Clough-Final-key-place/story-15890617-detail/story.html Derby Evening Telegraph Clough: Final third is the key to a place in top six 23 April 2012 28 April 2012 27 April 2012 https://web.archive.org/web/20120427001823/http://www.thisisderbyshire.co.uk/Clough-Final-key-place/story-15890617-detail/story.html dead Derby ended the season with a win and a draw as they finished in 12th place on 64 points, 7 places and 15 points better off than the previous season, the club's first top half finish since promotion in 2007 and best league standing since relegation in 2008. Derby's summer signings had mixed fortunes with Craig Bryson, Jason Shackell & Frank Fielding all being in contention for the Player of the Year award. Striker Theo Robinson was joint top scorer with Steve Davies on 12 goals and Jamie Ward's form impressed enough to earn him a new contract. Tom Naylor also earned praise from Nigel Clough for his development and impressed when standing in for John Brayford at right-back. Nathan Tyson, signed from local rivals Forest however failed to score in 24 appearances, Chris Maguire struggled to break into the first team and was loaned out to Portsmouth for the final two months of the season. Chris Riggott rejoined the club on a one-year contract, but was released in December due to injuries. The club relied less on loan signings and more on the club's academy as Jeff Hendrick, Mark O'Brien, Callum Ball, Mason Bennett and Will Hughes all broke into the first team, Bennett and Hughes making their debuts with Bennett setting a club record for youngest ever team player, making his first appearance against Middlesbrough on 22 October 2011 at 15 years and 99 days old, Teams news: Bennett to make Rams history at Boro http://www.thisisderbyshire.co.uk/story-13631868-detail/story.html thisisderbyshire 22 October 2011 26 October 2011 26 May 2013 https://web.archive.org/web/20130526161119/http://www.thisisderbyshire.co.uk/story-13631868-detail/story.html dead beating Lee Holmes' record by 169 days. The club's reserve side had a less successful year than in the two previous seasons, with the club missing out on the Central League title by one point from Sheffield United, as well as being beaten in the Derbyshire Senior Cup final by Buxton. Derby also reached the final of the Central League Cup final against Manchester City Elite Development squad. The club recorded an average attendance of 26,020, down by exactly 3 from the previous campaign and still the third highest in the Championship behind West Ham United and Southampton. This was also the 14th best average attendance in the country, higher than the average gate of eight Premier League clubs.
