Boss Mick McCarthy will hand Elliott Hewitt his first Town league start and new loanee Jay Tabb looks set to make his Blues debut in Saturday’s vital relegation six-pointer at Peterborough United. Michael Chopra joins the suspended Lee Martin and Richard Stearman on the sidelines due to a dead leg, but skipper Carlos Edwards and midfielder Jay Emmanuel-Thomas return to the squad after missing the midweek trip to Nottingham Forest.
McCarthy says he decided to add Tabb to his squad having lost the suspended Lee Martin and Anthony Wordsworth, who is out for the season with three cracked vertebrae: “First and foremost because I’ve lost Anthony Wordsworth with a fractured spine and Lee Martin with a three-match ban.
