Mick McCarthy has told the Club website that he will look to make changes to his side when Town take on Southampton in the FA Cup on Sunday. 

Blues are taking a support of 5500 to St Mary’s for the third round clash against the Premier League high flyers with some of the players that are pushing for a place in Town’s starting line-up for Championship action likely to feature.

“Don’t be surprised if there are a few changes to the side, we need to freshen things up,” the Town boss told www.itfc.co.uk. 

“We have got players who are trying to get in the side and they need game time. We need to get minutes on the pitch into their legs. 

“Whoever plays though, we are going down there to win the game.”
