After having a wee look at the current form table I reckon we might win. We are quietly in the middle of a decent run.

Team? Probably not much different to last week, with the odd cameo from a new player. Last game of Borja's ban?

I have a cheeky bet on for a Josh goal and a Norwich win.

Things took a turn for the better for us after that lovely Forson double. You could see it and feel a change and belief. I expect a win but a narrow one as Derby will fight for their lives and will set up to frustrate us. So many times when we've had a chance of taking a 6th spot we have then failed (3 times I think) but on this occasion I think we will do it. Most of all I'm hoping we score first and in the first half. That will change a lot of the dynamic and the crowd should roar us home.
Good times. And you just have to enjoy the moment eh?

Given that our two defeats in that run were away to Leeds and Sheffield United, I'd say we're in excellent form.

We've also picked up a nice habit of smashing weaker teams when we play them at home, so I'm optimistic ahead of Saturday.

I'm sure Jurasek will make his debut from the bench and with Sainz back for Preston on Tuesday, and Nuñez soon too, we probably should be reaching the playoffs if our only striker stays fit.

Ours to lose this one for sure.
Personally, I think there's going to be goals from both teams. Could be a 4-2 style game, where we close it out second half and it all feels quite comfortable despite a more frenzied first half.

Based on the season so far I would expect one decent half and one, well, not so decent half. But definitely think we can comfortably outplay Derby over 90 mins.

From the presser, everyone's fit and available apart from Onel and Borja. Including the new guys!

its interesting that this little run has coincided with Borja’s absence, obviously encouraging that we can win games without him as the likely hood is he will depart in the summer if he returns to his rich run of form after the ban

Would love to see another big win today, really make a statement to those we're fighting it out with. 4 or 5 - 0 will do It.

A car full of derby fans just parked next to me. As I walked away I heard them giving it the bigun about beating us today and what a s***hole Norwich is. I guess I won't point out this is a permit area

Yeah. I'd be happy to see any (outfield player) come off the bench. A decent window and return to fitness. Still going for 3-1. Sargent, Duffy, Schwartau
