As expected, Town will field a stronger than usual reserve side when they face West Ham's second string at Portman Road this evening (KO 7pm). Pablo Couñago, Chris Bart-Williams, Georges Santos and Martijn Reuser are all set for starts in Steve McCall's side.

Also likely to play some part in the game are the two new signings from Ford United. Jerome Sobers and Ben Patten are set to join the academy this week.

Dutchman Nabil Abidallah is included after his return from a loan spell with Northampton Town.

Squad: Price, Peat, Mitchell, Barron, Synnott, Bart-Williams, Collins, Santos, Sobers, Flack, Kamara, Patten, Reuser, Morrow, Couñago, Boardley and Abidallah.
