This is probably not the best time for Norwich to face Hull – but the lads should run out at Carrow Road feeling 10 feet tall.
What is a concern for me is that Norwich haven’t kept a clean sheet at home in four games. And they let a lead go against Sheffield United, let a lead go against Blackburn, then let a lead go against Leeds, although a point against Leeds is not the worst result in the world, but you have got to be able to manage games out, especially when they're tight against teams that are going to be in and around you.
But if I was to put my head on the block, I would think Norwich will win on Saturday. I think they will have too much, especially with this ridiculous home form.
It's a phenomenal record. In seven years, I got nowhere near something like that, and hopefully it can continue.
The longer it goes, that’s the sort of pressure you want. Imagine if you hadn't won for 22 games.
I think that gives you a sense of invincibility. You go out there 10 foot tall - ‘you ain't beating us here, mate, we haven't lost for 22 games, if you're going to beat us here you are going to have one hell of a day’.
I saw Hull beat Cardiff 4-1 on Saturday and then they won 3-1 at QPR in midweek – that’s seven goals in the last two, 10 in their last three, six in their last two away.
First and foremost, nothing should surprise you in football but I was a bit surprised when they sacked Liam Rosenior after the end of last season. I saw Hull quite a lot last season and they were a good team to watch - finished seventh, three points behind Norwich, and just missed out on the play-offs.
They brought in the German, Tim Walter, who is possession-obsessed, wants to play out from the back, will take risks. They had three points from their first five games and now have won their last three.
It wasn't a 4-1 game against Cardiff - they could quite easily have conceded four as well. The goalkeeper, Ivor Pandur, will give you chances; the two centre halves aren't quite as comfortable playing out from the back – if Norwich set themselves right they will win the ball back nice and early in their final third, because they force things.
That's the way he wants them to play, and it is good when it comes off. But for the first 10, 15 minutes against Cardiff they looked awful, just trying to play out from the back, and you could sense a bit of frustration coming in from the home fans when Cardiff scored a really good goal. But when they get it right they look a good side.
They’ve got pace in wide areas – and they have Mohamed Belloumi, who scored twice at the weekend. He plays on the right and the biggest compliment I can pay him is, at 22, he reminds me of a young Riyad Mahrez when he went to Leicester. He plays on the right and is all left foot.
For the equaliser, he picked the ball up 20, 25 yards out on the right-hand side. Cardiff just let him dance his way through. He's just on the edge of the box - I don't think he's gone to score, he's just gone to play it into an area hoping that someone will get on the end of it, but it crept into the keeper’s right hand corner. If you put it in the right place, you're going to score. He’s got good balance, he’s pacey, he goes past people.
His second was a great goal. He's done it all himself, beaten the offside trap, keeper’s come out and he's just taken his time and lobbed it over him. He's a player.
Cracking win
What have Borja Sainz and myself got in common?
We both scored our first hat-trick against Derby.
I can see why Rams boss Paul Warne wasn’t happy with the first goal.
I was reading social media and Derby fans were saying lots of decisions had gone against them but there was only the one really that stood out for me and that was obviously the one for the first goal where Josh Sargent has done ever so well to try and keep it in, but the ball nearly left the ground!
But it was a cracking win against a team who had won their previous three home games without conceding. They had only conceded three in their previous 10 league games, so to go there and score three and to beat them I thought it was a really, really good result, and fair play to Sainz, he looks a proper player.
He's in the mould of an Emi Buendia, when he first came to the football club, he's got a bit of swagger, he likes an argument, he gets in people's faces, puts himself about. Even though he's not the biggest, he leaves his foot in and I like that about him.
He took his goals ever so well.
On Tuesday, it was 1-1 at home to Leeds – and I don't think either team did enough to win the game. I thought a point apiece was probably a fair result and hopefully Josh, having won the penalty, I loved seeing him grab the ball because it would have been easy for Sainz to go ‘eh, I'm on fire, give me the ball’.
Sargent hadn't scored in his previous four games and he is playing every second at the minute. I used to love that but if I was taken off for the betterment of myself or the team then you totally understand it.
But he looks like he could be running on empty – on Tuesday he ran himself into the ground. If they had an option on the bench, they probably would have been better taking him off and keeping a little bit for Saturday.
So I think that's something that they've got to keep a close eye on, but now he has got the goal, hopefully he will go on a good run.
