Town have named midfielder Sammy Moore in the squad for Saturday's home game with Sheffield Wednesday. Also included is striker Jon Macken, who is over his hamstring problem.

Moore has impressed in the reserves this season and was one of Town's top performers in the 3-0 victory over Norwich's second string on Monday. Moore's only senior appearance so far came as a sub in the 3-1 win over Sunderland at Portman Road in September.

Frontman Billy Clarke is not included as he is still suffering with the knee injury which kept him out of the Burnley game.

Boss Jim Magilton has indicated that Gary Roberts, on loan from Accrington Stanley with a view to signing permanently in January, will make his first home start. Magilton has said he is keen to sign the 22-year-old when the transfer window reopens. Stanley are likely to ask a fee in the region of £200,000, the Blues having already paid the Lancastrians a low five-figure loan fee for the winger's services between October and January.

Squad: Barron, Bruce, Currie, De Vos, Drobný, Harding, Haynes, Lee, Legwinski, Macken, Moore, Naylor, Noble, Peters, Richards, Roberts, Sito, Supple, Wilnis.
