Derby County’s Matej Vydra is happy with his performance in the team so far and wants back-to-back wins when they returns.

Derby County forward Matej Vydra is feeling settled after a tricky start to his time with the Rams and told the club’s website that they will be looking for six points when Championship action kicks off again.

Vydra came to the club from Premier League side Watford at the end of the summer and has scored two goals in his six appearances for the team.

The 24-year-old made his first start for the club against tough opponents Newcastle and then Ipswich, but has helped the Rams gather some momentum ahead of the international break with a draw against Reading and an away win against Cardiff City.

The Czech forward told the club’s website: “The players are starting to understand what kind of ball I need and I feel I have given my best over the last month to help us pick up as many points as possible.

“I hope the supporters see that too.”

When the players return from international duty, Derby will face an in-form Leeds United and Brentford at home, before heading to table-leaders Huddersfield Town.

Vydra added: “After the international break we have got back-to-back home games and we will be looking to get six points from those games.”

Derby have had a difficult start to the season, having only taken two wins from 11 games and sitting in 20th place in the league.

The club’s woes worsened when manager Nigel Pearson was suspended from his duties ahead of the team’s clash with Cardiff, leaving them in the care of assistant manager Chris Powell.

Powell is the firm favourite to keep the position should Pearson be relieved of the post permanently.
