BELLAMY & RALLS START v RAMS

Craig Bellamy starts for Cardiff City against Derby County tonight, one of two changes from the side that beat Barnsley on the weekend. With Simon Lappin suspended, Joe Ralls slots in for a second stint at left back in City’s makeshift back four – Ben Nugent again making a start as regular first team players are held back to prevent the possibility of longer spells out.

Cardiff City XI v RAMS: Marshall, Ralls, Hudson, Nugent, Connolly, Kim, Gunnarsson, Whittingham, Noone, Bellamy, Helguson. Subs: Parish, Kiss, Conway, Gestede, Mutch, Mason, John
