Derby County captain Richard Keogh calls for league focus

Derby County captain Richard Keogh says that the club must not lose their focus in the league after reaching the fifth round of the FA Cup.

Derby County skipper Richard Keogh has called on his teammates to remain focused in the Championship after their progression to the fifth round of the FA Cup.

The Rams beat nearby League One side Chesterfield 2-0 on Saturday to progress in the FA Cup and they will find out their next opponents in tonight's draw.

With the likes of Chelsea and Manchester City out and Manchester United and Liverpool not yet through, Rams fans are hoping for a deep run in the competition.

Keogh, however, wants the club to be fully focused on Wednesday's home game against Blackburn Rovers at the iPro Stadium. If Derby win, they will go level on points with league leaders Bournemouth.

"We have to make sure we find the consistency that we want to stay at the top end," Keogh told the club website.

"We want to try and pull away from the rest and the gauntlet lies with us, which is a challenge that we are relishing.

"There will be a few more twists and turns between now and the end of the season, which is natural, but it is about being focused on ourselves and playing [the way] we know we can."

Keogh, 28, has played in all but one of Derby's games this season.
