Andy Marshall says he is expecting a hostile reaction from his former side's fans when Town meet Norwich on Sunday.

He told the club site: "I know I will get some stick from the Norwich fans but that's part of the game, anyway the Town fans have been brilliant to me since I came here and I'm sure they will stick up for me!"

The Canaries former Player of the Year spent eight years at the club and isn't anticipating a great game in terms of football: "In derby games you can get swept along by the passion of it all and the actual game can become a disappointment as a spectacle."

With Town as low as fourteenth in the table but with two games in hand, Andy knows the value of the match: "It's a game we have to win, not just because it's a derby - but because we need to start climbing up the table."
