Good move with McLaren there, hopefully one or 2 others might gas well.

what are you? A Nazi?

i still really rate wisdom and want him to succeed here, so hopefully he'll get good game time, improve and come back even better.

Only on weekends
McLaren is a great coach, jury is out on him as a manager but he's a very highly respected coach so he'll bring Wisdom's game on massively imo.

I'd be happy to see any of our younger lads go there and play

I assume he'll play Centre-back at Derby as they got this kid on loan from Spurs for right-back didn't they?

Think so, I would have thought that playing centre back would have been a condition of the move.

Sounds like he is starting at RB for Derby today.

England Under-21 international happy with maiden appearance for the Rams.


Defender Andre Wisdom is relishing the opportunity to prove himself in the Sky Bet Championship with the Rams, after making his League debut for the side in the 1-1 draw with Birmingham City.

The Rams took the lead through Jamie Ward’s 39th minute strike against the Blues, but were pegged back in the second half when substitute striker Lee Novak volleyed past goalkeeper Lee Grant to earn the visitors a point.

Wisdom, who earned the Man of the Match award on his maiden appearance, admits that he is eager to kick on after being handed the opportunity to gain first-team experience with the Rams.

He told dcfc.co.uk:“It was a good game, I thought myself and the lads played very well. We played some great football and got a deserved goal in the first half.

“But we just could not quite manage to get the second goal, and then we went on to concede in the second-half, but overall it was a good performance and we will take the point.

“The experience so far has been great, the lads have made me feel welcome and the banter is flying about.

“I have come to Derby to gain experience, get matches under my belt and keep my fitness up. It is also about me helping Derby push for promotion, because I can see that the players here have got great quality, and today’s performance did not quite highlight how well we have played.”

Meanwhile, after making his home debut for the Rams, 20-year-old Wisdom accepts that he may have to get used to the Championship, following 14 appearances for Liverpool in the top flight.

He added: “After playing today, I can see that the Championship is physically demanding, and you come up against different players and different styles.

"But the main thing that you want, no matter what level you are playing at, is to win. This side has got a great mentality, who want to work hard during the week and get the result on the weekend.

"Admittedly it is a big transition coming from Liverpool, moving down to Derby, but it is a great experience."

Good stuff.

Should be a good move for him and he will come back to us a better player for it.

[Slinky Skills]

He'll come back a lot wiser and show lots more wisdom that much is for sure. Can only be good for him.

"We've got the deal of the season getting Wisdom in."
....
"I was skeptical about Wisdom at RB, but he makes our defence look solid, strong, fast and surprisingly agile."
....
"Wisdom - 8. This lad is purr class, shouldn't be playing in this league, best defender at derby since Powell or stimac?"
...
"Wisdom and Cisse in particular always seemed to know where to stand to cut their players off from one another and intercept the pass"

"wisdom - 8 - quality"
"
Wisdom 8- A classy player, doesn't give it away, a physical specemin, fast and strong. All was on display today, as was his leadership,potentially a reason for our more more organised display."

Good to see that, hopefully he'll continue to impress and get some much needed experience.

Be nice to see him and Robinson come back next season and give us more options in defence.
