Parkinson to tinker for Saints clash

Parkinson watched his side slip to an uninspiring 1-0 defeat to non-league Northwich Victoria at the weekend, but any changes will be constrained by the Johnstone's Paint Trophy rules. The rules require clubs to include in their starting line-ups at least six of the 11 players that have started most often in first team games this season. First-choice goalkeeper Rob Elliot is out for six weeks with an adductor muscle injury but on-loan Wolves goalkeeper Carl Ikeme is able to play. Ikeme and fellow loanee David Mooney were made ineligible for the FA Cup defeat by their parent clubs but will be back for the southern quarter-final tie at St Mary's.
