Paul Clement says Derby County are about to embark on a critical month that will decide whether they're competing for automatic promotion, or a place in the Championship play-offs.

The Rams kick-off February at home to Preston tonight, and despite a run of five league games without a win their head coach is optimistic about what lies ahead.

He said: "It's a massive month for us. We've got lots of fixtures in there where we believe we can get points from, both home and away.

"Six games to play, three home and three away, we've got to have a really good and really strong month."

Police believe the burglars gained access to the Bulls Head in Woodville Road in Hartshorne via the cellar trap doors.

Officers are appealing for witnesses and want to hear from anyone who's been offered cheap bottles of champagne, wine or cider.

"If you're isolated and quite often if someone's isolated, maybe not socially aware if you like or part of a big social circle, if someone comes along and really says I'm listening to you ... you make a lot of sense or we think you're alright and we can help you, then we're going to be attracted to that."
