Matt Holland and Jim Magilton could play their last games at Portman Road for Town today when the Blues face Wimbledon. Holland looks likely to move to the Premiership over the summer while it is reported that Magilton may not accept a new contract and instead will move to the north-west.

Skipper Holland, who will receive the Player of the Year award prior to today's game, admits he could go over the summer: "This may well turn out to be my last home game but it is not because I want to leave or anything like that. Everyone knows the club's financial situation and we know they will be looking to get players off the wage bill and as I'm one of the highest earners I'm sure they will be open to offers for me."

Charlton look the favourites to sign the Irish international in the summer. The Town skipper will be away with Ireland this week for their game against Norway at Lansdowne Road on Wednesday.

Joe Royle has said that he will offer the out of contract Magilton, Richard Naylor and Fabian Wilnis new deals in the summer. Reports say Magilton will instead choose to move to the north-west and will look for a club there. The Northern Irishman started his career with Liverpool and his wife is from Merseyside.
