So today sees us travel to the iPro (Pride Park etc) to take on a Rams side who are pushing t break into the automatic promotion places with a string f good resuts in recent weeks – let’s hope we can repeat the result f 2010-2011 when we won 2-1.
It will also see the reunion of Jerome who was sold in the last transfer window and he will be desperate to score against us, so we will need our defenders to be prepared to repel him at all costs.

DF ‘sounds’ fairly upbeat at the loss of Trybull for the next few months - http://www.edp24.co.uk/sport/norwic...iews-derby-county-championship-trip-1-5390115
I’m feeling positive and going for a repeat of 2010-2011.

Sky Preview
Derby midfielder Bradley Johnson will be keen to make his return from injury against his former club Norwich. The 30-year-old, who swapped the Canaries for the Rams in 2015, has resumed training after missing the last five games with a back problem.
On-loan striker Sam Winnall suffered a knee injury during last weekend's home win against Brentford and looks set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines. Kelle Roos will continue to be the back-up goalkeeper on the bench with Jonathan Mitchell still recovering from a fractured finger.

Norwich have been dealt a blow with the news midfielder Tom Trybull is set for around 10 weeks out after suffering ankle and knee ligament damage in the win over Middlesbrough. Midfielder James Maddison has shaken off a dead leg, while captain Ivo Pinto should also travel, the full-back having missed the last two matches after injuring himself when getting out of his car. On-loan Tottenham midfielder Marcus Edwards (back) may also be in contention for a belated debut. Winger Matt Jarvis is stepping up his rehabilitation from a long-term ankle problem. James Maddison's eight goals have been worth 13 points to Norwich this season - only Albert Adomah (14) has won more points via his goals this season.
Derby striker Matej Vydra is the Championship's leading scorer with 16 goals - at the iPro Stadium, the Czech striker has scored nine goals in 13 appearances this season.
Nelson Oliveira has scored four goals in two Championship starts against Derby, including a hat-trick in January 2017.
 
Derby to win 2 - 1 We still do not have a reliable striker. Bradders and Jerome will be well up for this game if they play.
 
Managed to find a stream for Sheffield U v Leeds and Bristol v Sunderland .
No Norwich again. <grr>
Leeds the last 3 weeks .
 
Derby start with two strikers, we start with one who hasn’t scored for how long?
Unfortunately, who else do we play upfront? He doesn't rate the kids, or this 4th Division German striker.

But remember, our only weak area is RB, says Webber :emoticon-0148-yes:

Sounds like Nelson just forced a decent save from Carson. At least he's had a shot on target today.

1-0 Derby. At least it wasn't Jerome. Yet.

We don't take our 1 shot on target. They take their 1 shot on target. Sounds familiar.
