New signing Jonas Knudsen is amongst the subs for today’s final pre-season friendly against FC Utrecht at Portman Road.

Centre-half Christophe Berra is also on the bench with skipper Luke Chambers set to partner Tommy Smith at the heart of the defence with the Scottish international suspended for next week’s opener at Brentford having been sent off in the play-off at Norwich.

Jay Tabb is again at left-back with Jonny Parr missing from the squad, presumably due to a minor niggle, but has been spotted at the ground.

Freddie Sears partners Daryl Murphy up front, while trialists Giles Coke and Larsen Touré are also amongst the subs.

Town: Bialkowski, Emmanuel, Chambers, Smith, Tabb, Skuse, Bishop, Maitland-Niles, Fraser, Murphy, Sears. Subs: Gerken, Knudsen, Yorwerth, Berra, Kenlock, Robinson, Bru, Coke, Touré, McDonnell, McGoldrick, Pitman.

FC Utrecht: Ruiter, van der Maarel, Kum, Ayoub, Janssen (c), Ludwig, Letcshert, Klaiber, Nganioni, Haller, Ramselaar. Subs: Bednarek, Strieder, Markiet, Diemers, Rubin, Peterson, Cortie, Barazite.

rickw added 14:50 - Aug 1 Lets hope this is the last time with Tabb at LB!! Chambers gets outpaced by wingers but at least he can out muscle and out jump them, Tabb can do neither.....

Stewart27 added 15:09 - Aug 1 Knudsen in for Tabb and I'll be well happy with that at Brentford. Two proper full backs, a holding and creative CM partnership, two proper wingers and two strikers that gel.

linhdi added 15:13 - Aug 1 You can craft a credible 11 with those on the bench - shows how we've progressed. Hope Pitman gets a run-out.

wellsy700 added 15:14 - Aug 1 Make sure Knudsen gets a warm welcome when he comes on as a sub!

rfretwell added 15:23 - Aug 1 Well Mick wont play with 2 wingers at Brentford for a start. Need a stronger midfield there so Bru will be back for AMN & Berra of course with Knudsen in for Tabb. Expect a much closer scoreline there this time out

Seasider added 15:43 - Aug 1 I think Bru should be a regular,which don't think he was last year.Notice Tabby still gets into starting eleven
