Duo Out For Boston Trip

Last updated : 30 March 2004 By Andy Beill
Ashbee begins a two-match suspension after picking up his 10th yellow card of the season. Richard Hinds could be recalled in the skipper's place to partner Junior Lewis in midfield, or Stuart Green may get the nod with Lewis playing the anchorman role.

Peter Taylor may choose Green to fill in for Price on the right wing instead. He's out for a minimum of two weeks with a hamstring injury suffered in Saturday's win over Rochdale. Ryan France and Jon Walters are also in the running to be called up from the bench in the Welshman's place.

Peter Taylor has been given a boost by the news that defenders Marc Joseph (dead leg) and Alton Thelwell (ankle) should have recovered from knocks, while Stuart Elliott is cleared to play after being omitted from the Northern Ireland squad.

However, with Justin Whittle (calf) and Andy Dawson (thigh) out there may be recalls to the bench for Andy Holt and Jamie Forrester, or even some of City's youth team stars like Scott Wiseman, Russell Fry and Simon Russell.

Expected line-up (4-4-2): Myhill; Marshall, Joseph, Delaney, Thelwell; Green, Hinds, Lewis, Elliott; Allsopp, Burgess.
Subs: Musselwhite, Holt, France, Walters, Forrester.
