The excitment of the FA Cup is over and Derby County now look to get back to winning ways in the league and a run in to the Championship season.
The run of three home games must be seen as a huge advantage, as well as playing teams in the lower reaches of the Championship.
Todays game against Bristol City and matches against Local rivals Burton Albion and Cardiff City all at Pride Park should give the Rams a good yield of points. It would be failure if the Rams didn't take at least seven of the nine points on offer.
If Derby could go on a mini run and bag all nine points it could thrust Derby back into play-off contention.
The Rams have less injury worries than in previous weeks and are looking to get Will Hughes back into the line-up. His and Craig Brysons contributions may be vital and the return to fitness of the both is a must for these vital games during the rest of February.
