Nathan Tyson: Could face his former club
CHAMPIONSHIP BRIEFING Sunday, February 5 Derby v Nottm Forest Derby's Nathan Tyson could start against his former club Nottingham Forest after twice featuring as a substitute following a groin injury. Leading scorer Theo Robinson remains a doubt after missing the last two matches with a calf injury, but Paul Green will return to the squad after transfer deadline day passed without the midfielder leaving the club. Recent loan signings Ryan Noble and Tom Carroll could make their home debuts. Forest are boosted by the return of captain Luke Chambers following a three-match ban and he will go straight back into the heart of the defence. He could be partnered by either Danny Higginbotham or Scott Wootton, both of whom have moved to the City Ground on season-long loan deals from Stoke and Manchester United respectively. Manager Steve Cotterill also has the option to recall midfielder Andy Reid and strikers Marlon Harewood, Marcus Tudgay and Dexter Blackstock.
