Moyesy says: “What we all know is when he gets through on goal he doesn’t miss and all we want him to do is score the goals he got for Portsmouth and Middlesbrough. Today he delivered with an impressive goal that took the pressure off us and a great dummy. He showed intelligence and awareness and he is a better footballer than I thought. But in Britain what we really enjoy is seeing players put in their graft. That’s part of our culture and Yakubu did that today and he got a standing ovation for us.

We didn’t really look under a great deal of pressure today. We knew it would be a tough game because Derby have a good record at home but for long periods we had it under control.”

Derby Boss Billy Davies says: “We’ve got no excuses today. We got beaten by the better side who showed much more quality than we showed, and in the end they fully deserved their victory."

* I think we will just pip it 1-0 with the Blue Kangaroo scoring. Ged

* 3-0 to the Blues. Yak with 2. He will come good and one for Vic. Jono

* Ozzie and Mikky to score in a 2-0 win Prent

Faddy is not feeling too good so he may absent. Also missing is Hibbo and Nev both suspended after their dismissals against the shite. I think the Jag will come into right back and Stubbsey will come back into the back four. It is great to have Tim back and I expect him to start with Victor up front.

Tim Cahill says "It will be a dogged fight and there might not be that much football played.

"It will be a totally different game from the Uefa Cup and that's no disrespect to Derby because we know we've got to go there and fight for the right to play our football.The European game is over now and we need to concentrate on Derby because we want the three points and we don't want to kick-start their season."We've had a couple of bad results in the Premier League so we need to pick up a win."

Mikel says "We need to start winning again and on Sunday we have to win, because we want to be right at the top again, and we have to be winning away again and playing much better and we now we have more options in the team so we can carry the team a lot better.

" Maybe those games are a bit harder because they have been preparing for the game all week and they are in trouble at the moment so they will want to get out of there. They’re going to be really aggressive and we are going to have to try go there and keep winning.

"I want to stuff him at the weekend and as I'm sure you can imagine he wants to stuff me, but it will be nice to see him."
