Former Norwich City striker Iwan Roberts has a suggestion for Derby County on Twitter ahead of their Championship playoff tie against Leeds United.

Derby’s win against West Bromwich Albion at the Pride Park Stadium in the Championship on Sunday afternoon means that they have secured the sixth and final playoff spot in the table.

Frank Lampard’s side will face Leeds United in the Championship playoff semi-final tie.

The Whites lost on Sunday afternoon, but Marcelo Bielsa’s side had already ascertained their place in the playoffs and have finished third in the standings.

Former Norwich striker Roberts has (jokingly) suggested on Twitter that Derby should tighten up their security at their training ground.

The former Wales international international striker was referring to the ‘Spygate’ scandal that broke earlier in the season, when it was found out that Leeds head coach Marcelo Bielsa had sent someone to watch Derby’s (and other teams’) trainings in secret.

As for Norwich, the Canaries will play in the Premier League next season after clinching automatic promotion from the Championship.
