Veteran striker Dickov has won praise from players and staff at Pride Park

Derby County striker Paul Dickov said he would like to see his loan spell extended until the end of the season.

Dickov, 37, moved to Pride Park in August from Leicester and was expected to be used mainly as a substitute.

But his form and a succession of injuries up front have seen Dickov play a crucial role for the Rams.

Dickov told BBC Radio Derby: "It's no secret that I've loved it since I've been here, so hopefully we can sit down and get something sorted out."

He added: "We're on a mini-run with four games unbeaten. The previous games we had lost I felt we could have got something from them.

"But we're playing well with two homes games coming up and our home form has been very good, so we're looking forward to it," Glasgow-born Dickov said.
