Jewell: we'll get promoted again

Derby boss Paul Jewell is confident that he will bring his side back into the Premiership next year. Jewell has already started his preparations for next year in the Championship; and the coach has plenty of experience guiding sides into the top flight as seen with both Bradford and Wigan.

Jewell told the club's official website: "I can't really defend what has gone on here this season. Despite the promotion we had last season the club wasn't in a great state when I got here - as far as spirit and morale were concerned, it wasn't great.

"But it will be great next year, that's my aim. I am not passing the buck because I will be the first to hold my hand up and say that results haven't been anything near what I'd want or expect since I've been here.

"But I am very bullish about next year. Hopefully we can get back in the Premier League and have a team we can all be proud of."
