Danny Fox may not have been able to influence matters on the pitch at Derby County, but the Nottingham Forest defender was in the away end at Pride Park supporting his teammates on Monday evening.

The 32-year-old was part of the sold-out travelling 3,111 contingent inside the stadium, and was serenaded by the Reds fans.

‘Danny Fox is a Red, he hates Derby’ chanted the supporters at Pride during what was a goalless first half between the two great East Midlands’ rivals.

Fox is currently out with a foot injury, having not played since the 1-1 draw at Leeds United in October, and could feature in Saturday’s home game with Queens Park Rangers at the City Ground.

Up until the draw at Elland Road, Fox had been an ever present in the heart of the Reds’ defence, and his absence at Derby meant Karanka was forced into a reshuffle, with Michael Dawson and Tobias Figueriedo also missing.

Saidy Janko was drafted in to left-back, with Jack Robinson filling in at centre-half alongside Michael Hefele and Tendayi Darikwa at right-back.

Meanwhile, Nottinghamshire and England cricketers Stuart Broad and Samit Patel joined Reds chairman Nicholas Randall QC in the directors' box.

Both are ardent Forest fans and watched Joe Lolley hit a bar late on as both sides shared a 0-0 draw under the Monday night lights in Derbyshire.
