Due to computer problems only a shortened match preview – Sorry
The Rams head to Portman Road today with victory defiantly on their minds. With the Black Cats rolling along the Rams dip in form has been off-set with Birmingham going off the rails, and a victory would give the club a great chance to gain automatic-promotion.
The loss of Darren Moore is a huge blow for Billy Davies side, but they welcome back Dean Leacock from illness and Stephen Pearson should also return.
