Team news: Theo Robinson back on the bench for Derby County to face Huddersfield Town
DERBY County manager Nigel Clough has named an unchanged side for today's Championship clash with Huddersfield Town at Pride Park Stadium (3pm).
Clough has kept faith with the same starting line-up following last weekend's 3-0 FA Cup defeat at home to Blackburn Rovers.

Theo Robinson
The only change on the bench sees top scorer Theo Robinson return after illness, against his former club, in place of Mason Bennett.
Former Rams player and coach Mark Lillis - Huddersfield's caretaker manager - has also named an unchanged side following the Terriers' 1-0 win over high-flying Crystal Palace on Wednesday night.

“Longeatonrams - like many of us, you were completely wrong in slating Clough for sticking with the same team - so rather than bleating on here about playing Huddersfield at the right time, why don't you man-up, hold up your hand and admit it, eh?
It would be nice to do it against a top 6 side, like you say; but those clubs currently have better teams than ours - that's why they're in the top six and we're not.”

“Huddersfield were one of the worst teams to play at pride park this season and we played them at the right time - out of form and no manager. Sammon did quite well but he also gave the ball away needlessly on about 8 occasions. Lets see him do it against a team in the top 6 and Clough be less cautious and negative away from home.”

“Cautious, negative and deluded - apart from the three nil win and twenty odd shots at goal. Sammon contributed as well as anyone to the victory by working his socks off.”

“Only clough would keep the same team after poor performances fore$t and Blackburn. 3 centre mids does not fit into 2 and I for one am sick of it. Cautious, negative and deluded. Theo is never given a fair chance or run of games however bad Sammon plays. When was the lat time he even had a shot!? Whether people like or dislike clough, no one can deny he has his favourites. I've given him the benefit of the doubt in the pat few seasons but it is yet again mid table boredom.”
