Striker Darren Bent has hailed Richard Naylor as one of the main reasons for Town's success so far this season. Bent says Naylor has developed into a solid central defender since switching from playing up front.

Bent says: "Richard has become so reliable. The lads just love having him in the team and he is the key to our success.

"Jason De Vos and Kevin Horlock arrived during the summer to play their part in the big improvement to our goals-against column."

Town have kept three clean sheets in the last four games.
