He's been talking to BBC Radio Derby about tonight's win over Swansea. "Yeah, buzzing. It’s a great win. It was always going to be a tough place to come but we needed to bounce back and we got that tonight. " On coming back from Saturday’s defeat: "Yeah, massive. It was naive from us the other night. A few silly mistakes and a bit of switching off but tonight we were solid. They obviously got their goal but I thought we were solid throughout and we deserved the win in the end. " On enjoying his time in goal contributions recently: “Yeah, really, really enjoying it. It’s been a long journey. I’ve worked so hard. I’m still working hard. I’m feeling great and we’re playing great and as long as I can keep helping the team with goals and assists, I’m really, really happy and hopefully we can push on. " On Derby's ambitions now they are seventh, level on points with Bristol City in sixth: "There’s no ceiling. We’re just going to keep pushing and see where we go. " FT: Southampton 3-0 Leicester Surely Eckert has to be appointed full-time Saints manager now. Four wins on the bounce is no coincidence. Gordon, Guernsey FT: Middlesbrough 2-4 Coventry To Mitchell, Coventry [21: 51] No, you really don't! Simon (a Saints fan), Loughborough #bbcefl Pinching yourselves, Coventry fans? The Sky Blues are 10 points clear at the top after 17 games. Stoke City's win over Charlton sees them leapfrog Middlesbrough and into the second automatic promotion spot. Ipswich's victory at Hull moves them up to fourth as Preston drop to fifth after they were held to a draw at Watford. Southampton 3-0 Leicester Southampton ease to a victory over 10-man Leicester to provide interim boss Tonda Eckert a fourth win across his four games in charge. Anyone got the permanent contract ready? FT: Middlesbrough 2-4 Coventry Coventry City are playing in a different stratosphere at the moment! Smashing in goals for fun! Lampard is a god. PUSB. Mark, Leicester I don’t care if we lost every game in the Premier League. I just want to go up. Mitchell, Coventry Southampton 3-0 Leicester Three goals, three more minutes to go before this one is all wrapped up. Southampton 3-0 Leicester How on earth are we three points off fourth when we're 11th in the table? ! What madness the Championship is (in a good way)! Amy, West Sussex As a Saints fan that works in Leicester, tomorrow could be interesting in the office. Shame it's not nine though. .. Simon, Loughborough Southampton 3-0 Leicester It's been fairly quiet at St Mary's this half but Southampton substitute Jay Robinson fancies a flashy finish. He gives the ball a boot on the right but gets it all wrong, seeing it soar into the stands. Stoke 3-0 Charlton An impressive performance from Stoke sees them back to second in the Championship. The Potters kept their clean sheet and displayed some threat up top to boot. A truly promotion contending showing. Stoke 3-0 Charlton There's three more minutes to go. Enough time for Charlton to upset Stoke's clean sheet. Though to be honest, they could have several hours more and I wouldn't fancy them for it. #bbcefl Stevenage end the night top of League One after beating Peterborough United 1-0 at the Weston Homes Stadium. Posh miss out on the opportunity to climb out of the relegation zone. Luton have picked themselves up after their 5-0 drubbing at the weekend, bouncing back with a 2-1 win over Huddersfield tonight. The result means Jack Wilshere's side have leapfrogged their opposition in the table and now sit just one point away from the play-off places. Stoke 3-0 Charlton Robert Bozenik will have to wait longer for a first Stoke goal. He's replaced by the talented Divin Mubama. Hull 0-2 Ipswich All over at the MKM Stadium and it's job done for Ipswich. The visitors take the three points back home courtesy of Marcelino Nunez and Chuba Akpom's intervention in the second half, after a middling first period. Hull's unbeaten home Championship run ends at six games. Middlesbrough 2-4 Coventry Coventry City march on. A game that swung one way, then the other and then back in favour of the Sky Blues. There's a reason why Frank Lampard's side are 10 points clear at the top of the Championship. They are just relentlessly banging in goals and that's pretty hard to live with. Boro were good tonight and will feel hard done by to come out with nothing. But that's football for you. Watford 1-1 Preston So it ends a point apiece. Preston led through Daniel Jebbison, who scored against his former club, but the hosts hit back on the break through Mamadou Doumbia. Despite Preston's best efforts in the second half, it's finishes 1-1. Norwich 1-1 Oxford The late, late show from Oxford and Norwich are left to rue a host of missed chances. It seemed like it was going to be a perfect start on home soil for new boss Philippe Clement after Jovon Makama had given the Canaries the lead and set them on their way to their first win of the season at Carrow Road. But a late dagger from Filip Krastev denied them victory and how crucial could that point be for Oxford in the relegation scrap? Norwich 1-1 Oxford Norwich were 90 seconds away from their first home win of the season. Philippe Clement must be gutted. Stoke 3-0 Charlton Sam Gallagher's start to the night is a promising one. He gets a quick glimpse at goal but drags his effort wide. What a comeback that would have been had he found the net. FT: Swansea 1-2 Derby The start to Vitor Matos' reign at Swansea ends in defeat. They have bright spells in possession particularly in the first-half but the new boss will be disappointed by their lack of firepower upfront. A late consolation from Ethan Galbraith can't disguise that. Derby will be happy getting back to winning ways after a slip at the weekend. Goals from Joe Ward and Lars-Jorgen Salvesen has them sitting just outside of the play-offs in seventh, level on points with sixth-placed Bristol City, although the Robins do have a game-in-hand.
