Rams will have new boss watching cup tie
The Rams will be unveiling their new first team manager at noon today and he will be watching the cup match at Love Lane, which kicks-off at 7.45pm.
It’s a fresh boost for the club which has seen morale climbing through the playing ranks in recent weeks – despite the club still having only one competitive victory to their name so far this campaign.

‘I think everyone will be impressed by the man we have appointed to take the club forward,’ said Moir.
‘We have had some really good candidates to choose from, with so many people eager to come into the club, but we have got the man we are confident will pull us away from the bottom of the table.
‘He has vast amounts of experience and I have only spent an hour or two in his company so far but you can’t fail to be impressed by the football pedigree of our new manager.

‘But we believe this appointment will put us back on track to not only trying to stay in the Southern League but looking to keep climbing up the table.
‘If it all comes together as we hope it will, this could be a huge opportunity for this club and for the players as well to play under a manager who is well respected in non-league circles and someone who will also look to improve the players too.’
