Town have named a young U23s side for this afternoon’s game at Cardiff City, which is being streamed live (KO 1pm).

No senior players are involved with the U23s also having a friendly against Brentford’s B team at Playford Road tomorrow afternoon.

It’s likely regular U23s players such as Armando Dobra, Elkan Baggott, Zak Brown and Tyreece Simpson will be involved in that match.

Right-back Barry Cotter is the only player with any league experience in the side facing the second string from ex-Town manager Mick McCarthy's new club.

The U23s, who go into today’s match second in Professional Development League Two South, again include trialist Callum Page, a teenage midfielder from Needham Market, who has featured on a number of occasions since November, on the bench.

U23s: White, Cotter, Stewart, Armin, Wyss, Alexander, Humphreys, Crane, Viral, K Brown, Oppong. Subs: Ridd, Cutbush, Page, Curtis.

Marinersnose added 15:00 - Feb 2 Well I made the mistake of watching this. It was a young side but the difference between the two side was enormous. But for excellent goalkeeping from White this could've been 7-0. Watching Cotter I think he needs to look at another sport as football isn't his game. Simpson looks heavy and clumsy and the way the team tried to p,at wasn't dissimilar to the first team. Passing the ball at the back and then hoofing it forwards. Cardiff were a much more compact team who moved the ball very well and were easy winners. The Needham lad did okay at times but the keeper was the only stand out player for me.

Marinersnose added 15:05 - Feb 2 Correction it wasn't Simpson playing up front. The commentary was indecipherable and the picture on my small device inconclusive.
