Boothroyd Selection Poser

Last updated : 02 March 2006 By Gary Calder

Watford manager, Aidy Boothroyd has a virtually full squad to choose from ahead of the visit of lowly Derby County this weekend.

Darius Henderson is the only confirmed absentee as the Golden Boys look to maintain the pressure on second placed Sheffield United, the combative striker sitting out his third and final game of a suspension picked up for a red card offence in the Valentine Day’s defeat at Leeds United.

Meanwhile tenacious midfielder, Al Bangura should be available after completing a one match ban in last Saturday’s victory over Cardiff City.

Bangura together with regular first team colleagues, Clarke Carlisle, James Chambers and Anthony McNamee all played for the reserves at Coventry City on Tuesday evening, but were unable to prevent the Golden Boys succumbing to a two goal loss in the Midlands.

The match also saw the eagerly awaited comeback for long term absentee Dominic Blizzard, who played 57 minutes at the Ricoh Arena as part of his rehabilitation from a debilitating virus illness.
