Brian Murphy and Devann Yao are set to make their first public appearances in Town shirts this afternoon when the reserves take on Norwich at Carrow Road (KO 2pm). The duo, who have both recently been out with injury, have previously featured in behind closed doors games but not yet in front of paying spectators.

Also expected to be involved are Carlos Edwards, David Wright, Alan Quinn and Ben Thatcher.

In October the sides drew 1-1 at Portman Road with Ronan Murray netting for the Blues.

Tractorog added 14:02 - Feb 10 I hope David Wright proves he is fit again we need him, otherwise I wonder if we will see Thatchers return from the wilderness? With the next 1st team match on Tuesday anyone of these players could be claiming a place, it is not like normal where a mid week reserves match is a sign of being unlikely to play on Saturday.

greenkingtone added 15:43 - Feb 10 I doan wanna worry yer Finidi, but I believe Thatcher already has put on a Town shirt this season. I'm sure I read that he had a run out with the stiffs before Christmas. Looking forward to your sprint around the touch lines!
