Simpson On The Derbies

On-loan Manchester United youngster Danny Simpson says he is looking for to Town's two East Anglian Derbies later this month.

Town travel to Colchester United's Layer Road on Saturday, in a game which could condemn Colchester to life in League One next season and a week on Sunday Norwich come to Portman Road and Simpson is looking forward to both games.

"The lads here have told me what it is like and how big a game it is going to be. Of course they always mean a lot to the fans but I have been told I will be surprised at the intensity here and I'm really looking forward to both games.

"Probably the reserve team games at Manchester United against Liverpool and Manchester City are the biggest I have been involved in but these will mean even more. All derby games are big. Even from the age of 12 the coaches instil the importance of winning all games but especially these matches."
