Clough sets Rams survival target

Clough has set a 50-point target in order to steer Derby clear of relegation trouble and is keen to reach the tally as soon as possible.County have 35 points from 30 matches going into the home game against Blackpool on Wednesday night."We think 50 points should be sufficient," said Clough. "You never know, it might be a freak season, so if we can get to that 50 points and add a few on top we should be okay. Our immediate target is to get there as soon as possible."All our focus is on this season but we have got to have a little bit of attention focused on next season. That's why if we can get safe as soon as possible, then it would give us that bit more time planning."We don't think we are going to go down, we think we are better than that from our recent performances."
