  1. KICK-OFFpublished at 15:09 Greenwich Mean Time 1 March 2015

    A half-time change for Ipswich. Luke Varney comes on for Richard Chaplow, so that looks like one to add a bit more of a presence in the final third.

    Nick Jay:, external Ipswich need to hold the ball up better and play through the lines or I can see a resurgent Hoolahan continuing to run this.

    MuzzH:, external Good depth to this norwich squad! Dorrans and Jerome hopefully will make an appearance! Good game so far.

    And what a superb strike it was. Bradley Johnson's goal remains the difference in the East Anglian derby at Carrow Road.

    Will it be enough for Norwich to secure three points?

  4. Looking ahead...published at 15:04 Greenwich Mean Time 1 March 2015

    There's hardly time to breathe in the Championship. The relentless schedule continues with a full fixture programme in midweek.

    There are eight games on Tuesday and the top two clubs face sides fighting against relegation, as leaders Derby go to Brighton and second-placed Middlesbrough host Millwall.

    Four more matches follow on Wednesday, with Norwich at home to struggling Wigan and Ipswich travelling to in-form Leeds.

    Ipswich fans may be taking a glance at their bench and wondering what their options are.

    Chris Wood, signed on loan from Leicester on Friday, could be the joker in the pack. He scored 22 goals in the 2012-13 campaign, remember.

    Lewis:, external It's amazing what effect a fiery Scotsman and some dynamite in Bradley Johnson's left boot can do for Norwich's form!

    Kieran Walsh:, external Supporting my Canaries from Oklahoma and it sounds like it was just another usual wonder goal from Johnson. No biggie.

    Dan Marsh:, external One goal at the start of the second half and it is Ipswich's for the taking #COYB

    David Gilks:, external For the first time in many years, I'm optimistic about clawing back an away win in the derby.

    Ex-Ipswich captain and BBC Radio Suffolk summariser Mick Mills: "We're not out of this game by a long shot. There's very little between the two teams and very few chances.

    "Tommy Smith, Christophe Berra and Cole Skuse have got to deal with Lewis Grabban and Wes Hoolahan a bit better.

    "When Daryl Murphy, Freddie Sears and Richard Chaplow get themselves in the game, we look quite capable, but we've got to do a little bit more there."

  8. HALF-TIMEpublished at 14:53 Greenwich Mean Time 1 March 2015

    The whistle goes to signal the break and what a goal it was that separates these local rivals.

    Bradley Johnson's firecracker from 18 yards was as delicious as it was thunderous.

    Town have not been overrun, but they may have to find a different approach, rather than the direct mentality.

    It took 45 minutes to come but we have our first fiery moment.

    Daryl Murphy goes in shoulder-to-shoulder with Seb Bassong. The City defender goes to ground and Irishman Murphy is less than happy.

    It's a matter of seeing this through to half-time for Norwich, and they look like they will do it untroubled.

    Town go long again and the excellent Steven Whittaker deals with it this time.

  11. Postpublished at 14:48 Greenwich Mean Time 1 March 2015

    Ipswich have a few goes at clunking it forward, but none of them come off.

    Norwich are a little deeper now and look reasonably happy to head clear from the edge of their area.

    This time Wes Hoolahan has a swing from outside the area, but it's easy for Town keeper Bartosz Białkowski.

    Ipswich, though, are showing a bit more composure going forward.

    Big Mick is scribbling something down on a piece of paper - doubt it's his shopping list.

    Freddie Sears and John Ruddy do battle again.

    This time the former West Ham striker is 18 yards out, cuts in on his right foot and forces a sound stop from the Canaries keeper.

    Ex-Ipswich captain and BBC Radio Suffolk summariser Mick Mills: "This game is really livening up and turning into a good match. Both teams were feeling the occasion a bit, but since Norwich opened the scoring, Ipswich have responded nicely and are picking the ball up in attacking areas. Daryl Murphy and Freddie Sears are getting themselves on the ball quite frequently now."

    Bradley Johnson, bless him, gets a tad excited. He finds himself in space 25 yards out and tries to relive his glory.

    This time it squirms wide.

    Oh this should be 1-1.

    Daryl Murphy springs away on the wing and gets the ball across to Freddie Sears.

    He cuts inside and just has to beat John Ruddy, but the England keeper makes a great stop by rushing off his line.

  19. Postpublished at 14:35 Greenwich Mean Time 1 March 2015

    Mick McCarthy's side have had a spine of steel this season, and they're going to need a bit of that now.

    They've looked powerful and direct, but Norwich's high pressing is causing them problems.

  20. Postpublished at 14:34 Greenwich Mean Time 1 March 2015

    It's only Ipswich fans who will tire of seeing that goal.

    It's Bradley Johnson's 10th of the season - that's his best ever haul.
