Their return was greeted with disappointment by some fans, who saw it as reducing a competition enjoyed by non-league football followers to a "farce" as the far-superior league sides would breeze through their opponents. The fear proved well-founded as Derby County scored 23 goals in their four games and conceded only 4 (3 of which came from fellow professional club Chesterfield in the Quarter Final) on their way to a first ever victory in the competition on April 20th, 2011.
