Former Town skipper Ian Atkins will be joining the regulars on Life’s a Pitch on BBC Radio Suffolk at lunchtime (12-2pm). Host Mark Murphy will also be joined by legend-in-residence Kevin Beattie, New Tractorboy and TWTD's Phil Ham, who will be at Griffin Park for this afternoon’s match against Brentford.

Atkins, 61, who was with the Blues between 1985 and 1988, is currently the head of European recruitment at Aston Villa.

The former defender, who was at St Andrew’s last week to see Town lose 1-0 to one of his other old clubs, Birmingham City, will be giving his thoughts on the Blues’ search for a successor to Mick McCarthy.
