Norwich v Derby - Looking Back to Look Forward

Norwich host Derby at Carrow Road this afternoon. The last time the two sides met, Derby were heading towards promotion to the Premier League and triumphed 2-1 thanks to a brace from midfielder David Jones.

Norwich took the lead in the March 2007 clash through youngster Chris Martin, who at the time was bursting on to the scene with a scoring spree. Martin, however, was stupid enough to believe his own hype and went backwards last season. He is pending this term building his character down at Kenilworth Road, where he is impressing as Luton Town attempt to surmount the insurmountable and stay up despite having a 30 point deduction imposed on them because of the frankly ridiculous actions of the Football League.
