Dean Sturridge believes the writing was on the wall for Paul Clement when chairman Mel Morris came into the Derby dressing room after the 1-1 draw with Reading in January. The game at the iPro stadium on January 12 was part of a seven-match run without a league win, a sequence that culminated in manager Clements dismissal on Monday evening.Sturridge, who played for Derby for 10 seasons, says he is not surprised by the decision and now expects the club to make the Championship play-offs at best. He told Sky Sports Now: Its unfortunate for Paul Clement. Hes had a good apprenticeship and was given his first opportunity in management here but Im not surprised to be honest.When Mel Morris walked into the changing room three or four weeks ago, I think it undermined Paul Clement and it showed that it was [a] tetchy relationship and the owner was not happy with what was going on. I think when you are going for a promotion push, you need everybody together. I think the team that I was part of 20 years ago, the owners [and] directors were quiet and kept behind the scenes. Derbys fans have voiced their disappointment at the sacking of Paul Clement. Jim Smith would not have allowed any intervention but it is the modern way now. Owners like to get involved and I feel Paul Clement would have known that at that moment [after Reading game] that things were not going well and the relationship was not as it needed to be.You need togetherness for promotion and I dont see that in the team at the moment. I dont see them making the automatic positions but I still think they have a great opportunity to get through the play-offs.I would like to see [interim manager] Darren Wassall come through that and stamp his name on the club. Hes a good lad. I played with him and hes very good behind the scenes.

Stringbean ruckman Tim English is preparing to stack on the kilos and be patient in his pursuit of AFL-level game time after being selected as the top draft choice of reigning AFL premiers Western BulldogsThe agile and mobile 205cm West Australian was widely regarded as the best big man in the draft.A good ball distributor in addition to being strong overhead, English won All Australian honours at the AFL under 18 championships.Chosen 19th in the draft, English will add depth to the Bulldogs ruck stocks which were often stretched throughout the 2016 season, and even during their unforgettable finals campaign.With a light frame and weighing around 91 to 92 kilos, English knows he needs to bulk up before being able to bang bodies with more seasoned and physically developed ruckmen.He would regard playing senior footy in 2017 as a bonus but would leap at any opportunity given to him as he builds his body.Ill go through with the club and work out what I can do to improve my strength and Im sure diet and gym will be a huge part of that, he told AAP.ddddddddddddPhysically I need to develop quite a bit.As a development player, as a sort of skinny ruckman , those extra few years that I could have on the list before I get that opportunity could really help my game.Not surprisingly English is excited at the prospect of feeding the ferocious Bulldogs midfield, which took this years competition by storm with their passion for the contest.English hails from the WA country town of Pingelly, which despite a small population has produced a number of AFL players..Foremost among them is St KIlda legend Nicky Winmar, while more recently it has spawned Leroy Jetta and Corey Gault with English having played a little alongside the latter.
