Derby County will aim to carry on where they left off when

Derby County will aim to carry on where they left off when they host Cardiff City next weekend as they look to record a third successive home win in the Championship.

New signings Nat Phillips and Marcus Harness will be in contention for a place in the squad having signed on deadline day as the Rams look to build on a terrific 3-0 win over Bristol City.

Bristol City head coach Liam Manning referred to Derby County's atmosphere when he said that, in the second half in particular, his team had been caught up in the emotion generated on the terraces.

Given what we have witnessed so far at Pride Park, you sense he will not be the first or last manager this season to worry about the decibel levels impacting the performance of the players. Paul Warne has made a point of praising the fans for how they have become a key weapon in their arsenal and if you recall he mentioned it in an exclusive interview with Derbyshire Live after the club won promotion.
