Vitor Matos has told fans to dream and players to focus as Swansea City look to continue their upturn in fortunes at Derby County on Saturday (15:00 GMT). Swansea have taken 25 points from their past 13 games, the best return of any side in the Championship other than leaders Middlesbrough since the beginning of December. The improvement in form has led to discussion among fans about the chances of a play-off push, with Swansea only five points adrift of sixth-place Wrexham after last weekend's thrashing of Sheffield Wednesday. Matos says top-six talk among supporters is a "positive", but insists there will be no such chat within Swansea's dressing room. "I think there's no tax on dreaming so that's good to do," said the Swansea head coach.
