Derby boss Jewell: New signings must handle promotion expectations

Derby County boss Paul Jewell says he wants players who can handle the expectation of being promotion favourites next season.

Jewell said: "I know the type of player I want to bring here - one who can handle the pressure of expecting to win matches, because that will be the remit next year.

"We will lose players that don't want to play in the Championship; we will lose players that I don't want to keep.

"That's the nature of any end-of-season team - whether they go up, down or stay in the same division.

"We need to shake things up from top to bottom, make the club great and get everyone moving in the same direction."
