Town target Steve Davies had been expected to make his first Derby appearance of pre-season this evening when a Rams reserves side faces Evo-Stik League side Belper Town at their Christchurch Meadow ground. However, the 24-year-old, who the Blues have been chasing all summer, has confirmed that he again won t be involved.
Town got their pre-season programme off to a winning start as Burton were defeated 3-0 at the Pirelli Stadium. Matt Richards opened the scoring on 17 with Alan Lee netting soon afterwards and then from the penalty spot 10 minutes before the break.
