McLeish could ring changes

Birmingham manager Alex McLeish could make several changes for the televised Carling Cup second round home match against Rochdale. The Scot could give several youngsters or fringe players the opportunity to make an impression against the npower League Two side. One player who definitely will not figure is veteran striker Kevin Phillips, who could be out for another month with a thigh problem picked up before the start of the campaign.
