Steve McClaren, manager of Derby County pointed out that his main goal this season is to make up the top 10 finish in the Championship. The rams have been doing not to badly this season with 36 points out of 22 matches played at present this season, a win for Derby County over Nottingham Forest raised the Rams to fifth on the log before they had a slip against Fulham at Craven Cottage after a 2-2 draw.
