Burnley new boy Tyrone Mears is looking to exorcise his bad Premiership memories of Derby's efforts now he is at his new club.
The full back has signed for the Clarets from the Rams, although he was on loan at Marseille last season, and he is looking to make a greater impression with his new side than he did with the Rams.
"I'm not looking at it negatively," he said. "I'm hoping that we're going to put a good run together and establish the club as a Premier League club.
"I think what didn't help us at Derby was that we started off OK and everyone was saying Derby could do OK. But when it came to the Liverpool game, they hammered us, and then we played Arsenal and they hammered us.
"We played a few big teams in a short space of time. I know Burnley have got that this season to start with.
"But the press got on Derby's back and wrote us off - and it got to the players.
"That season is something I've tried to forget, to be honest."
