Next Wednesday's reserve game with Crystal Palace has switched back to Portman Road (KO 7pm). The match was the last of the four set for Needham Market's Bloomfields but like all the others has now moved back to the main pitch.

Town had hoped that using Bloomfields would prevent Portman Road from deteriorating during the worst of the winter weather, however, the pitch at Needham has not been up to scratch throughout the January and February period the Blues planned to use it.

Striker Sam Parkin is expected to make his return to action on Wednesday after breaking his ankle in the home defeat to Reading in November.
