Chambers back for Forest

Fri, 03 Feb 09:45:54 2012

Nottingham Forest are boosted by the return of captain Luke Chambers for the trip to east midlands rivals Derby.

Chambers has completed a three-match suspension and will go straight back into the heart of the Forest defence on Sunday.

He could be partnered there by either Danny Higginbotham or Scott Wootton, both of whom have moved to the City Ground on season-long loan deals from Stoke and Manchester United respectively.

Should Higginbotham get the nod, Wootton could be deployed in a midfield role. The 20-year-old was often used in that position during his loan spell at npower Championship rivals Peterborough in the first half of the season.

If Wootton is preferred alongside Chambers, Higginbotham could be asked to play at full-back.

Manager Steve Cotterill also has the option to recall midfielder Andy Reid and strikers Marlon Harewood, Marcus Tudgay and Dexter Blackstock.

  2. Kevin P. You are spot on. Chambers has been responsible­ for so many errors that lead to goals. He has been­ shocking. Cotterill should do us all a favour and play­ the two new boys in the centre of defence. It cant be­ any worse.
