Derby County have had a frustrating time in recent weeks in the Championship and so they'll certainly be looking to change that soon.

Indeed, the men from Pride Park have seen themselves fall down the table with a lot of draws in recent games but they know they have the quality to turn that around.

For sure, they'll need to display all of that against league-leaders Cardiff this weekend as they look to get another win on the board and the likes of Matej Vydra will be expected to hit the back of the net.

Whilst we wait to see how they get on, though, another goal-scoring threat is working his way back to full-fitness at the moment - Darren Bent.

Indeed, he's been out for some time but looks to be stepping things up in the gym right now - posting this on his Instagram account:

For sure, then, Rams fans would like him available alongside the likes of Sam Winnall and David Nugent before too long as they aim to start showing that they can at last challenge properly for the top six.

The Verdict

Darren Bent may not be the player he once was but he still knows how to score goals and it's surely better to have him available than not.

For sure, it appears as though he is working hard and Rams fans will hope that that pays off if and when he returns to the starting line-up.

Thoughts, Rams fans? Let us know below!
