3 players Steve McClaren needs to succeed at Derby County

Tom Ince

Where does one begin with Tom Ince?

A player who divides opinion more than any other at the club.

On his day, he’s a complete match winner, the kind of player that turns a game around. Few hold the raw talent to dribble past defenders with ease.

Unfortunately, those performances have been few and far between for the last two campaigns. And when he’s not on his game, he sometimes disappears altogether.

The small glimmer of hope for Ince is the fact that his best spell at the club came under McClaren last time.

If anyone can get the best out of him, then McClaren can, and many Rams fans will be hoping for a return to that kind of form.

When Ince is firing on all cylinders, the Rams will look a very different outfit going forward.
