Forest boss waits on injured duo

The pair missed the midweek Carling Cup win over Middlesbrough - Lynch with a back problem and McCleary with an ankle injury. Davies will be hoping they are available for the lunchtime kick-off against their East Midlands rivals. Left-back Lynch in particular is key as his return would allow Chris Cohen to revert back to his more familiar midfield role. The Reds will again be without Lewis McGugan (fractured cheekbone), James Perch (shin), Julian Bennett (knee), Kelvin Wilson (ankle) and Guy Moussi (thigh). Davies, Derby manager between June 2006 and November 2007, played down talk of revenge after the Rams triumphed twice at the City Ground last season in the league and FA Cup. "It's just another match, it's just another three points," said the Scot. "I've said to the players to just carry on doing what you're doing and not change the way we play because we are playing well." The match kicks off at 1pm.
