Proposals were brought out this week, which involved the wage capping plans with Division 1, 2 and 3 clubs. Basically the idea is from a committee of “The best working party” and they have proposed and received backing from most clubs to only allow clubs to spend a maximum of 60% of their takings to be spent on players wages and they hope to reduce that to 50% is subsequent seasons. The plan is to stop the spiralling wages of players and is an attempt to stop clubs going to the wall through financial difficulties. The football league is now in talks to make this effective proposal work and ensure the future of teams in the football league

Norwich currently uses 31% of the clubs income on player’s wages, which is under the 50% wage limit of the clubs income that may be reinforced in the near future. It is easy to see how some of the lower league clubs would welcome this proposal as with wage demands increasing and lower income would help these clubs from going into administration.

After Daryl Russell resumed training following his broken foot and also came on as a substitute in the Burnley game, he got a start in the 1-1 draw in the reserves midweek. It was good news for him because he has come back into the squad ahead of schedule as he was originally expected to be out for 6 weeks.  

A full strength side was on offer to Worthington after Phil Mulryne was back after being suspended from his last game after receiving 5 yellow cards this season so far. Alex Notman was the only player unavailable and he has been told that he has to have an operation for an injury he sustained at Portman Road and it isn’t likely he will be playing before the New Year.

Craig Fleming said before the game that he wasn’t expecting an easy game but was hoping they could bounce back from their away defeat last week.

Malky Mackay came back into the centre of defence and Worthington had a re-shuffle with the team which saw Kenton and Mackay in the centre of defence, Fleming moved to right back and Nedergaard played on the Right wing. Rivers played on the left and McVeigh joined Roberts upfront.        

Norwich started positively but Derby soon came back at Norwich and the game was quite even up till half time. The second half started and Norwich looked the better again but Derby also had their fair amount of chances with some good saves from Robert Green.           

The substitutes played a big part in the game once more when at first Ian Henderson came on and made some trouble for Derby by doing a lot of running. Nielsen and Abbey came on and it was all attack for Norwich but the winning goal came from Defender Mackay when he looped a header from a corner from the back post to net City the three points. Derby where ram raided by Norwich and the win was crucial as Nottingham Forest won again and Leicester also won.
