Trio Ruled Out of Derby

Last updated : 25 October 2003 By Andy Beill
Stuart Elliott will miss a second game with a knee injury, while Jason Price (foot) and Jamie Forrester (knee) came out of the midweek game at Bury with knocks. All three will be unavailable to Peter Taylor.

Ryan France could make his first league start in place of Price on right wing, or Stuart Green may be recalled. Taylor may even opt to play both and drop Dean Keates or Andy Holt as it is a home game. Ryan Williams may also be involved for the first time this season.

Striker Daniel Webb - who went on loan to Lincoln last season - is expected to take Forrester's seat on the bench after scoring twice for the reserves in midweek.

Marc Joseph is ready to play again after returning from injury in that reserve match, but may have trouble ousting any of the back four from the side.

Fans are reminded that the game is all-ticket, and that kick-off is at 1pm.

Expected line-up (4-4-2): Musselwhite; Thelwell, Whittle, Delaney, Dawson; France, Ashbee, Green, Holt; Allsopp, Burgess.
Subs: Fettis, Joseph, Hinds, Keates, Webb.
