Nacer Barazite – Derby County 1-1 Cardiff City

Derby’s confidence has taken a considerable boost in recent weeks, 4 points from 2 games has given them welcome relief after nearly a year without a League win, coincidentally there good form has come since Nacer Barazite has been the team, but if you listen to Arsene Wenger, coincidence’s do not happen in football.

The home faithful inspired County to a bright start, Miles Addision and Rob Hulse had efforts saved, before Cardiff found their feet. Peter Whittingham caused trouble from two corners, and it seemed the visitors were starting to get a foot hold.

But it would be Derby who would snatch the lead on the half hour mark, Barazite’s drilled corner bounced through a crowded penalty area, and Martin Albrechtsen was on hand to slot home.

Nacer was linking the front men and midfield from the right wing, but the Blues always remained a threat on break, however the first half ended with the Rams having a slight lead.

Barazite and Stewart crashed shots over with just minutes of the second half left, but the same only shaky Derby were caught out minutes later. Connolly’s tackle in the box gave a penalty, Ross McCormack converted from 12 yards to damage the fragile confidence.

The flamboyant Dutchman was once more the best player on the pitch, he whipped two corners and a free kick in, but nobody in a white shirt could get a head on it, leaving Paul Jewell more than frustrated on the touchlines.

It finished 1-1 leaving Derby still in the struggling position, a great 90 minutes for Nacer, he looks head and shoulders above the rest in the Championship.

Kerrea Gilbert – Leicester City 3-1 Leyton Orient

Although Kerrea Gilbert was forced off after 34 minutes with a hand injury last weekend, the right back was deemed fit enough to continue his role in Nigel Pearson’s side.

A shaky couple of weeks had not helped their bid for promotion, but after just 10 minutes a left footed drive from Lloyd Dyer saw the Foxes in front.

Gilbert was having an almost uneventful afternoon, but after Matty Fryatt missed two chances to double the advantage, Adam Chambers caught the back line cold to level the scores. With seconds left of the half Matt Oakley nearly thumped City back in front, but both teams went in level.

A tireless second half seemed like it would end in frustration, until Matty Fryatt managed to strike the winner with just 2 minutes left on the clock. The goal deflated Orient, who conceded another via Andy King in stoppage time.

Armand Traoré – Portsmouth V Manchester City

Harry Redknapp admits he is likely to rotate ahead of Sunday’s clash with money bags Manchester City, the game leaves them just two days to rest following their exploits in the UEFA Cup, meaning Pompey are set to mix and match.

Armand was one of those Redknapp picked out as being in need for a rest, he is set to be replaced by Glenn Little who played 90 minutes against Arsenal’s Reserves on Tuesday.

Havard Nordtveit & Pedro Botelho – Salamanca V Girona

Havard Nordtveit and Pedro Botelho are in line for starts this weekend as UD Salamanca take on newly promoted Girona looking for a second successive three points.

A double from Salva Seville helped see of Xerez last week, and although the on loan Arsenal duo were left out, they are set to be recalled after impressing manager David Armaral. Nordtveit played in the starting lineup throughout training this week, whilst Botelho was switched several times in and out.

Full Reports on both Salamanca and Portsmouth will be available tomorrow afternoon.
