Martijn Reuser and Marcus Bent are both involved this evening as the reserves face Watford at Vicarage Road (KO 7pm).
Reuser is close to a return to the first team squad after a knee operation and could go into the squad for Saturday's game against the Hornets' senior side. Joe Royle said on Monday that the Dutchman would play the full 90 minutes in the second string fixture.
Bent is further away from a first team return and is down to play 45 minutes this evening.
Richard Naylor will continue his experiment with becoming a centre-half while youngster Sam Morrow continues up front. Fellow Academy striker Dean Bowditch is unavailable as he is with the England U17 squad playing France at Scunthorpe this evening.
Town side: 1 James Pullen, 2 Matt Bloomfield, 3 Matt Richards, 4 Lee Beevers, 5 Richard Naylor, 6 Chris Hogg, 7 Martijn Reuser, 8 Nabil Abidallah, 9 Marcus Bent, 10 Sam Morrow, 11 Ian Westlake. Subs:, 12 Robert Dickinson, 13 Lewis Price, 14 Erkan Okay, 15 Lee Chaffey, 16 Matt Robinson.
