Derby County’s reserves cruised to a 2-0 victory at Pride Park against Coventry City. Forgotten defender Horacio Carbonari scoring one of the goals and substitute Marcus Tudgay scoring the killer second goal.

Youngster Tom Huddlestone was blooded in the match coming on for the last 12 minutes of the game. He made his reserve team debut after replacing Lewis Hunt.

Not all the news was good however as injury prone Branko Strupar, who was just coming back after injury again was forced out of the game. He was replaced by goal scorer Marcus Tudgay.

Derby County reserves now take over top spot in the reserve league from east Midlands rivals Leicester City.
