The Rams ex-loanees both scored for the Blues against Wolves and some of the Pride Park faithful wonder just how they failed to get promotion with them on board.
A number of Derby County fans have taken to Twitter to comment on the latest performances by two of their loanees from last season – Fikayo Tomori and Mason Mount – and wonder just how they did not get promoted with the stellar duo in their ranks.
Tomori weighed in with a simply stupendous strike from 30 yards out as Chelsea ran out 5-2 winners over Wolverhampton Wanderers, a game in which Mount rounded off the scoring after Wolves had threatened a comeback in the second half.
Some fans also spoke of Harry Wilson, who was not in action on Saturday but has nonetheless been impressive this season for Bournemouth, his latest loan club, as he won their Player of the Month award for August.
While plenty of Rams fans on social media were happy for the players, there was also a sense of regret at what might have been, given the high quality of the trio, and yet the Rams were not able to make it over the finish line, with a poor start to the current campaign consigning the club to the lower reaches of the table.
