Scott Flinders

Peter Taylor has a keeper crisis ahead of the trip to Derby.

Taylor is without on-loan stopper Iain Turner after the the Everton player hurt his groin in the defeat to Colchester last weekend.

Gabor Kiraly has gone on an emergency loan to Aston Villa, which means rookie keeper Scott Flinders will go in goal.

Dougie Freedman has recovered from his groin injury and should make the bench, but defenders Leon Cort (hamstring) and Danny Butterfield (groin) are out.

Derby striker Steve Howard misses his first match of the season due to a suspension. Midfielder Bob Malcolm, who had been out with an ankle injury, is set to return.
