Turner Dropped

Last updated : 09 December 2007 By Andy Beill
Brown makes two changes, bringing Andy Dawson and John Welsh back into the starting eleven, dropping Michael Turner and Dean Marney to the bench. Nicky Forster drops out of the squad all together.

Turner was a favourite of former manager Phil Parkinson, who signed him from Brentford in the summer for £350,000 and played him in every game until his dismissal. Today though, he's a substitute, with Damien Delaney taking his position in the centre of defence. Dawson comes in at left-back.

Welsh plays in a three-man midfield in place of Marney, who had started on the right side of a four-man midfield last week before being taken off midway through the first half. Stuart Elliott and Craig Fagan are expected to play wide of Nick Barmby.

City line-up: Boaz Myhill; Sam Ricketts, Danny Coles, Damien Delaney, Andy Dawson; John Welsh, Ian Ashbee, David Livermore; Craig Fagan, Nick Barmby, Stuart Elliott.
Subs: Matt Duke, Michael Turner, Ryan France, Dean Marney, Steve McPhee.
