The 33-year-old has shown exceptional form since returning from the season-break and he contributed a goal and an assist during the recent 2-1 triumph over Wolverhampton Wanderers on Pride Park.
There are reports that Derby County are targeting Bristol City man Bobby Reid this summer. Derby new manager Frank Lampard is looking at spending money to get the Robins’ player. However to get this the coach might have to sell striker MatejVydra first.

Derby have just one victory in the last nine games in the league. The Rams are no longer in the Top Two and they could further slip down the ranks. On the other hand, Fulham have lost just two times in their last 18 games. Both sides played out a 1-1 draw last November but Derby are hoping to knock off The Cottagers off their flow. They allowed their rivals to hual them within a point but they can extend their lead during the game on Saturday. Read More

Chelsea legend Frank Lampard believes Danny Welbeck should be more ruthless in front of goal if he is to establish himself as a regular in the Arsenal line-up. The England international has managed just 80 appearances in over three seasons at the club, owing to a couple of long-term knee injuries.
Writing in his column in the Evening Standard, Lampard feels Welbeck must improve on his goalscoring record for the Gunners in order to establish himself as a centre-forward, he said: “He has still scored 13 Premier League goals for Arsenal, which isn’t bad considering he has never had a regular run in the side. I like Danny as a player a lot. He has great strength and speed, with an ability to run in behind defences. Read More
Curtis Davies says anybody can lead the line at Derby County. David Nugent, Chris Martin and Sam Winnall have all started for the team in recent weeks as the manager found best. Martin started the new term before Nugent replaced him. He netted twice against Bolton but he has been replaced by loanee Winnall.
Winnall scored as Derby played a 1-1 draw with Birmingham City but against Cardiff, he struggled. Martin was called on but the game ended in a goalless draw. Coach Gary Rowett does not have a stable pick, rather he calls anyone that can get the job done. With the East Midlands derby match against Nottingham Forest, there is no known man to lead the pack.
Derby County defender Curtis Davies believes that his team can challenge for promotion this season despite their poor start to the campaign.
Curtis Davies believes that the season is still long and that there are plenty of matches for the team to recover their form. He said that there are some good players in the team and that they have the necessary skills and experience to mount a serious push for promotion.
Curtis Davies has already won promotion back in the past with Hull City and said that he is aware of the demand of this league. He said that it is not enough to be a good team, but you need to work harder than the opposition.
He said that the competition is always tough in the Championship and will demand a physical battle in every game. Read More
Following his arrival from Tottenham Hotspur on a three year contract, Hull City defender, Michael Dawson has been an inspiring figure for the Tigers in their fight for Premier League survival and in the English Football League Cup.
City have been short on positives during a damaging run of seven defeats in eight Premier League games but Dawson’s return to the side has made a huge difference. The Tigers undoubtedly look stronger for his presence in a defence that had been so horribly compromised.
A recall to their match day 10 clash at Vicarage Road, Hull city had a defence that could not be breached for the most part of the encounter as the Tigers resolutely blocked and cleared every attack that came their way. Read More
