Brown Considering Changes

Last updated : 10 March 2007 By Andy Beill
Phil Brown says he'll make "one or two changes" to the back four after conceding 5 goals at home to Ipswich on Tuesday. Danny Coles, at fault for a number of those Ipswich strikes before being substituted, is expected to be replaced in the starting line-up by Michael Turner. Nathan Doyle - yet to make his debut after signing from Derby - is another option in defence.

Barmby has trained all week but missed both the Ipswich game and the reserves' 2-1 win at Doncaster on Wednesday after the surgeon's advice, but will be ready to play tomorrow. He could be on the bench.

Vaz Te is expected to be in the matchday 16 as well and could even start the game, with Stuart Elliott's place most under threat.

Midfielders David Livermore and John Welsh offer Brown further options.

Forwards Michael Bridges (suspended) and Steve McPhee (injured) remain sidelined, as do long term injury victims Sam Collins and Ryan France.

Expected line-up (4-3-3): Boaz Myhill; Sam Ricketts, Michael Turner, Damien Delaney, Andy Dawson; Ray Parlour, Ian Ashbee, Dean Marney; Nicky Forster, Dean Windass, Ricardo Vaz Te.
Subs from: Matt Duke, Danny Coles, Nathan Doyle, David Livermore, John Welsh, Stuart Elliott, Nick Barmby, Darryl Duffy.
