Boss Jim Magilton has been charged with using abusive and/or insulting words to referee Mick Jones during the incident which saw the official send him to the stands during last week s game at Stoke City.

Boss Paul Jewell says he won’t make any rash changes to his side when Portsmouth visit Portman Road on Saturday despite Tuesday’s 2-0 loss to league leaders QPR. The Town manager, who will have to make one change with Colin Healy out injured, has generally been pleased with his side’s recent performances but feels they can do better in front of goal.
