Dave Brammer will start his first game since the trip to Cardiff tomorrow. The captain has missed the past 3 games with a groin strain and his return will be a massive boost to the team.

Andrew Barrowman, onloan from Birmingham, will start tomorrow's game against Derby. The 18 year old has impressed Neil Baker on the training ground and Dario Gradi has given Bakes the go ahead to play the Scottish striker.

Allan Smart returns to the bench tomorrow after a full recovery from his ankle injury. Defender Chris McCready is out with a thigh injury and £150k man Anthony Tonkin is still suffering with the flu. With Macca and Tonks both out Dario has given a call up for 16 year old Billy Jones. The academy defender will be in the 20 man squad for Dario to choose from tomorrow and will be given squad number 29. Also in the 20 man squad is academy striker Michael Higdon.
