Last time out, Derby County went away feeling content with a 1-0 away win against Cambridge United  

They have a modest amount of points to show from their last 6 games, in spite of only conceding 3 goals, because they have failed to be as predictable in their scoring at the other end despite a reasonable 7 goals.   They're currenlty on a run of 3 consecutive clean sheets, and playing at home this season, they have scored in 21 of their 22 games.  

They've had a good run of form at home recently, with 5 straight wins in a row.

Carlisle United will not be too troubled by their 3-1 home defeat against Wycombe Wanderers, given the latter currently sit 13 places further up the league table than they do.  

It seems pretty certain that Paul Simpson will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 6 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 10 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped.  They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 42 of their 45 games overall.  

They have lost 4 of their last 6 matches, which will be a focus of concern, but their 2 wins in that period did produce some valuable points nevertheless.  

Jon Mellish is the man of the moment at Carlisle United right now and the toast of their travelling support, having notched up 3 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league.
