Defensive Change for Carlisle Trip

Last updated : 08 March 2003 By Andy Beill
Damien Delaney is ruled out with a hamstring injury, so Taylor chooses from Andy Holt, Shaun Smith, Mike Edwards and Steve Burton to fill the left-back spot.

Marc Joseph should be fit to play despite limping off injured last week. If he hasn't fully recovered, Edwards and Carl Regan are both available.

Midfielder Ian Ashbee serves the second of a two-match suspension. Richie Appleby will continue to partner Dean Keates in central midfield.

Loan signing Jonathan Walters will be in the 16-man squad after joining from Bolton yesterday. Either Lawrie Dudfield or him will start up front with Jamie Forrester, who has scored in both of the last two games.

Expected line-up (4-4-2): Fettis; Joseph, Whittle, Anderson, Burton; Melton, Appleby, Keates, Elliott; Walters, Forrester.
Subs: Musselwhite, Edwards, Regan, Williams, Dudfield.
