Town are without both Connor Wickham and Jimmy Bullard for today's game at Swansea. Andy Drury and Colin Healy come into an otherwise unchanged side.

Wickham, who picked up a rib injury on Thursday, stayed behind in Suffolk while Bullard made the trip but like the 18-year-old misses the game, due to a shoulder injury.

Returning loanee Ronan Murray is amongst the subs along with Mark Kennedy, who is back from his hamstring injury.

Arran Lee-Barrett keeps his place in goal with Márton Fülöp on the bench, despite Paul Jewell stating his intention to give Brian Murphy a game before the end of the season.

Murphy, who has been out of action since Christmas due to a broken ankle, is likely to be in the reserves side in action at Luton on Tuesday.

Town: Lee-Barrett, Edwards, O'Dea, McAuley, Delaney, Healy, Leadbitter, Norris, Carson, Drury, Scotland. Subs: Peters, Hyam, Fülöp, Brown, Civelli, Murray, Kennedy.

GetInTheGameScowcrof added 14:46 - Apr 25 Any hope we had is out of the window without those two. Swansea will spank us 4-0. Can't believe that he's kept Lee-Barrett in after that shocker against Middlesborough and Norwich

RetroBlue added 14:51 - Apr 25 I think PJ is very astute . He "knows" all he needs to now , about the current squad. The 3 remaining games mean nothing in the grand scale of things. PJ wants to take a look at the last GK, Murphy, to see what he's about . But I firmnely believe we will see a new GK in the 1st team next season. Bullard and Connor , both rested I suspect...Norris as good as gone, and hopefully Scotland too! Im sure many players in this team know they will not be 1st choice next season with the execption of only one or two...and some know perhaps they will not even be at the Club at all. 3 more games left and counting down to end this terrible Keane legacy . AMEN to that !

floridaboy added 14:53 - Apr 25 Bullard will be missed more than Wickham. Wickham still not doing it for me. Would like to see him move on for £15m and the money given to PJ to bring in 2 decent strikers who know where the net is and are not afraid of getting hurt in the process!

tractorblue99 added 14:56 - Apr 25 oh well. Drury can do as good a job as bullard and we will see murray at some point but I would have started him and kennedy instead of scotland and odear. I think civelli should start instead of leadbitter.

jas0999 added 15:17 - Apr 25 2-0 now. ALB in goal. Poor decisions so far from PJ. Oh how I bet he wished he signed a striker on loan / hadn't sent Priskin out on loan.

whoppit added 17:03 - Apr 25 Can anybody tell me why Connor Wickham is worth 15m?? He has scored 14 goals in 71 games for Ipswich which is pretty crap really. Sell the "potential" to Spurs if they are crazy enough to pay and buy some "finished articles"
