Croft to keep his place
A squad of 17 has travelled North today and there are returns to the squad for Jason Bowen, James Collins, Andy Legg and Mark Bonner.

City will make changes.

The likely line up is

Margetson, Weston, Prior, Barker, Croft, Maxwell, Kavanagh, Legg, Bowen, Thorne and Campbell. Subs Alexander, Collins, Hamilton, Leo FW and Earnshaw.

Mark Bonner has been taken but will be 17th man as he adjusts to a return to the squad for the first time this season.

Neil Alexander and Robert Earnshaw are away on international duty next week and both have a good chance of playing for their countries. They are likely to be on the bench and can be called upon if needed. With Margetson in goals City have a more than capable keeper. Campbell will get a chance to show what he can do, he has been limited to the bench since Septemer but has the taste of goal in his mouth after a penalty in the LDV victory in midweek.

Jason Bowen looks to have earned his place with his match winning performance at Exeter.

James Collins come into the squad and should join regualr subs Des Hamilton and Leo FW and the trested Alexander and Earnshaw.
