Robbie Savage admits he deserves to be axed by Derby County boss Paul Jewell for tomorrow's clash with Sunderland.

To rub salt into the wound, a club mole has panned Savage for turning up in a new Mercedes while failing to perform on the pitch.

The Rams entertain Sunderland tomorrow and Savage, 33, said: "The so-called insider is right when he says I haven't had a decent game since arriving from Blackburn.

"But I could be driving a Robin Reliant and I would still be playing the same.

"If the manager decides to leave me out because of my form, I would have to agree with him."
