City will have to make several changes to the starting line up for tomorrow nights crucial FA Cup 2nd round replay at home to Bury.

City will be without the services of Jorn Schwinkendorf (not registered in time for the original tie), Tony Vaughan (cup tied), Scott Young (calf injury in training), Mike Ford (thigh injury against Gillingham), Kevin Nugent (hairline fracture of the knee against Orient, Josh Low (same as Schwinke), Richie Humphreys (same as Vaughan).

With four recognised defenders out of contention City look like reinstating Jason Fowler into the heart of the defence to play alongside Perrett and Eckhardt. Lee Phillips is the only recognised first team defender available but Frank would probably give Jason the job as he has played there eventfully earlier in the season (an own goal, a penalty against and a sending off in his first two games).

Winston and Andy Legg will start as wingbacks.

In the midfield City are well covered. Boland, Bonner, Hill, Carpenter, Brazier are all available.

Jason Bowen and Chris Roberts will start up front. With Low, Humphreys and Nugent out I would expect to see Jamie Hughes fill the space on the bench for the reserve striker.

Craig Middleton I would think could also find himself as one of the subs.
