Town's reserves take on West Ham at Portman Road this evening (KO 7pm). Striker Adam Proudlock will play after recovering from the knee injury which has kept him on the sidelines in recent weeks.

Scouts aplenty are expected in the Town directors' box with Dean Bowditch likely to go out on loan before the end of the month, Kevin Horlock and Cathal Lordan free to leave and Dean McDonald interesting a number of lower league clubs.

Norwegian midfielder Vemund Brekke Skard will play his second reserve game after recovering from groin surgery.

Probable squad: Price, Moore, Mitchell, Casement, Short, Ainsley, Peters, Horlock, Skard, McDonald, Bowditch, Proudlock, Knights, Trotter, Lordan, Pétursson.
