    Derby v Blackburn

    Here we go, was the Brentford game the dawn of the legendary Darren Wassall era (maybe a slight exaggeration) or just a blip? With Brentford it was hard to tell with them being in such poor form themselves, but the Blackburn game will provide a clearer situation.

    You'd be forgiven for thinking that Blackburn are a pretty toothless outfit now that they are a Jordan Rhodes down. The truth is that they still have some very talented players, even if their form says differently. Rovers are hovering very closely to the relegation zone albeit with a couple of games in hand over the teams around them. An incredibly stubborn side with one of the best defenses in the league, our attackers will have to be on their game to get three points from this one.

    Blackburn form: 1-3-2
    B'burn attack: 21st/24th
    B'burn defence: 6th/24th

    Update: Thorne is 'in contention' for Saturday but will miss tomorrow, so I presume Hanson will get another run.

    Wasn't the wing where Johnson ripped it up for Norwich? I've wanted him to have a shot up there since his form dropped off so drastically, so I hope he gets another chance up there.

    A Norwich fan I knows says left wide midfield rather than winger was his best position.

    No matter what the system or the personnel, tonight's results have upped the pressure to get a result! Of that there is no doubt.

    I believe we will beat Wolves, see Blackburn as the tougher fixture?

    He did indeed, scored double figures I think. He seemed a lot more energetic back then though in all honesty. Not that he's lazy (we've got Chris Martin for that). He also seemed a lot more confidence, something that I think he might be lacking in at that moment.
