Carson, Hyam and Murphy Back for Blues - Ipswich Town News

Town caretaker-boss Chris Hutchings has made three changes for his first and possibly only game in charge of the Blues. Josh Carson, Luke Hyam and Daryl Murphy return to the side with Jay Emmanuel-Thomas, Nigel Reo-Coker and Andy Drury dropping to the bench.

Hutchings could look to continue with the Blues’ regular 4-2-3-1 formation with Martin behind DJ Campbell with Lee Martin in behind with Josh Carson and Daryl Murphy wide, or alternatively Murphy could be up front with Campbell in a 4-4-2 with Martin on one of the flanks. Full match preview here.

Town: Henderson, Edwards, Chambers, Higginbotham, Cresswell, Carson, Wellens, Hyam, Martin, Murphy, Campbell. Subs: Loach, Smith, Drury, Mohnsi, Reo-Coker, Emmanuel-Thomas, Chopra.

Sheffield Wednesday: Kirkland, Jones, Buxton, Gardner, Semedo, Antonio, O’Grady, Corry, Bothroyd, Barkley, Llera. Subs: Davies, Taylor, Madine, Johnson, Mattock, Rodri, Pecnik.
