Defender back for Tranmere clash

The centre-half has completed a four-match suspension and could be pitched straight back into the starting line-up following Monday night's disappointing home defeat by Leyton Orient. Boss Phil Parkinson has ruled out making major changes following that setback but winger Scott Wagstaff is pushing hard for a start, possibly at the expense of Jonjo Shelvey who struggled to make an impact against Orient. Kelly Youga is still missing with a knee injury so Grant Basey keeps his place at left-back. Striker David Mooney has extended his loan deal from Reading until the end of the season and should partner 12-goal top scorer Deon Burton in attack again.
