Town boss Kieran McKenna has made three changes to his team for this afternoon’s game away against fourth-placed Sheffield Wednesday.

As expected, George Edmundson replaces the injured Cameron Burgess on the left of the defence, while Kayden Jackson comes in for Freddie Ladapo as the number nine and Tyreece John-Jules for Marcus Harness alongside League One top scorer Conor Chaplin as one of the two number 10s. Harness and Ladapo are on the bench.

For Wednesday, ex-Town loan keeper David Stockdale starts as does former loan defender Dominic Iorfa, who is on the right of their back three, while Tyreeq Bakinson, who ended last season on loan with the Blues, is on the bench. Another one-time Town loanee, Mark McGuinness is absent from the squad.

Sheffield Wednesday: Stockdale, Palmer, Iorfa, Ihiekwe, James, Johnson, Byers, Bannan, Dele-Bashiru, Windass, Smith. Subs: Dawson, Vaulks, Bakinson, Mighten, Wilks, Paterson, Gregory.

Town: Walton, Donacien, Woolfenden, Edmundson, Burns, Evans, Morsy (c), Davis, Chaplin, John-Jules, Jackson. Subs: Hladky, Keogh, Leigh, Ball, Harness, Ladapo, Ahadme. Referee: Peter Wright (Merseyside).

timkatieadamitfc added 14:31 - Sep 17 Great Harness dropped again and Jackson in, cannot understand how Jackson starts a game, ok Ladapo hasn't exactly been banging them in but his hold up play is much better(which may be important today)than Jackson's and he runs his nuts off every game. I could see the logic(if he has to play)of bringing Jackson on for last 20 mins when their defence is tired to use his alleged pace. Really hope I'm being pelted later as Jackson has got a hat trick but sadly can't see it. Anyhow COYB, wouldn't be disappointed today if we draw.

ChrisR added 14:49 - Sep 17 Only possible reason for Jackson inclusion is that we won't be banging in high balls which their taller defenders would mostly win ,so guess we will try to go round the back, but even so Jackson ??

Ipswichbusiness added 14:53 - Sep 17 Why Jackson? I suspect that the answer is; pace.

Suffolkboy added 15:19 - Sep 17 Come on ,you doubters ; we are where we are in the league because K M knows exactly what he's doing and how to counter the opposition ! K J needs to repay the faith but will give SW defenders a real run for their money – and we've a really good bench to utilise ! COYB
