And it's been funny because the players are so raring to go.

We've had to calm them down a little bit and jumping into tackles and their enthusiasm and energy to play at the moment is absolutely fantastic.

I think a lot of them have said to me they've taken football for granted for so long.

So to miss out on two or three months of football for something that's so important, really it brings back home how lucky they are to be footballers and they've been fantastic since they've been back in.

we just want to win the next game because if you win the next game you've probably got the opportunity to be within three points the way that the points totals are adding up and Scott I enjoyed working with you all of last season on the championship it's an amazing league because any team beats any team on any week

And we know we're consistent over the next nine games.

We've got a fantastic chance of getting into the playoffs.

The players have done great.

We've had a lot of setbacks.

The players missed out on the player final against Aston Villa last year.

A lot of changes to the team.

We've incorporated a lot of very, very young players into the team.

We've done outstandingly well.

So the future looks really bright for Derby.

Whether we make the playoffs or not this year, our job is to make sure that the long-term future for Derby is good.

And I think we're well on our way to doing that.

I thought this question was going to come from you, Scott, because he's an outstanding, outstanding player.

You don't realise how good he is until you work with him every single day.

And what's been great for me to witness is his effect on the younger players around him.

He's not a striker anymore.
