Derby boosted by return to fitness of two
Hulse and Porter should be fit to face Coventry Derby County will be boosted by the return to fitness of two of their key players in time for the televised game at Coventry on Saturday. Rob Hulse and Chris Porter both missed out in Derby's 1-2 defeat to Cardiff last week, although Porter did make the bench, he was unused. Porter was nursing a hip injury, while Hulse has an Achilles injury, but Rams coach Gary Crosby said, said: "It is positive news for Chris and Rob.I would think Chris will certainly be available for the weekend and Rob should be up for selection as well." "Having a big striker up front suits our formation well and allows our attacking midfield trio to play off of them." Hulse scored both goals against Coventry ast season in Derby's 2-1 home win and Crosby thinks it is a factor to be taken into account when selecting the team to face the Sky Blues. He said: "You can't ignore a players' goalscoring record against a certain club. Players can feel it when they are facing a club they have a good record against, so that is certainly in our thoughts."
