Derby manager George Burley was boosted by the return of several key players at West Ham ahead of the crunch game against Bradford. Marcus Tudgay played a full 90 minutes after recovering from a thigh strain, while Jamie Vincent (hamstring) and Richard Jackson (shoulder) also managed to play full games at Upton Park. Neither Marco Reich or Junior (both hamstring) were risked against the Hammers and may come into contention for the relegation clash with the Bantams, as will Michael Johnson, who missed Saturday's game with a calf injury. However, Burley will definitely be without Rob Edwards, who has completed his loan spell and returned to Aston Villa. Bradford are set to be without Danny Cadamarteri for the vital relegation clash after he suffered a leg injury just before half-time in the 2-1 win over play-off chasing Reading. Boss Bryan Robson could hand Lewis Emanuel a start after he came off the bench to replace Cadamarteri to hit the winning goal against the Royals. Meanwhile, Wayne Jacobs is once again very unlikely to feature. Jacobs is still struggling to recover from a hamstring injury, but could be ready for the clash against Wimbledon.
