Currie targets top two

Derby County winger Darren Currie has revealed he is driven on to secure automatic promotion after missing out in the play-offs with former club Ipswich Town.
Currie was part of the Tractor Boys side that finished third in the Championship during the 2004/05 campaign, but were then beaten by eventual winners West Ham in the play-off semi-finals.
The 32-year-old is currently on loan at Pride Park from Ipswich and is desperate to help fire the Rams into the Premiership via the top two automatic promotion places.
"It's the ultimate prize in football that awaits us," he told the club's official website.
"I was extremely close with Ipswich a couple of years ago and I don't want those feelings again.
"It's certainly a happy place to be at the moment and that's always what you want out of work and out of football.
"We're all enjoying the situation and the pressure that comes with it."
