Ahead of Sunderland

The Carling Cup game will see at least one change. Thankfully Cochrane will make his first start in a month. He'll replace the unfortunate Luke Varney who went off injured at half time during the Alex's draw against Sunderland.

Adie Moses is doubtful but is expected to play. Anthony Tonkin and Billy Jones are unlikely to be risked which will mean youngster Mark Roberts will get his debut. Roberts impressed during pre-season and will line up at left back with Foster, Walker and Moses.

18 year old Paul Bignot may get on the bench after recieving a squad number today.

Dean Ashton is the only other doubt. He has a dead leg and is one of the more major doubts. He'll have a late fitness test with Michael Higdon waiting in the wings should Dean miss out.

Ben Williams will start in goal despite Dario thinking about using Ince for cup games.
