Match officials for Derby v Cardiff

Nigel Miller from County Durham officiated the Norwcih v Watford match last week making him the referee that blew the first whistle of the 2010 / 2011 season.

He is assisted by K Hayward and N Murphy. The 4th official is R Bartlett.

Mr Miller was in charge of City's FA Cup tie at the CCS against Bristol City back in January. Last season he issued 87 yellow and 11 red cards in 34 games.

In midweek he was in charge of the Doncaster Rovers v Accrington match that saw the lower league visitors shock their Championship opponents.
