Skard in line for full home debut
The Norweigan midfielder was signed back in November but had to wait for learance to play until January.

Royle has stated that due to a spate of injuries, including a hernia operation in December and the move from Norweigan semi-professional football, Town fans will not see the best of Vermund until next season.

Supporters should get an early indication of what he can offer the team against Brighton though, as Royle looks to shape his squad for next season, with Magilton dropping out of the team.

Vermund has been described as a player with very high fitness levels who is also very strong on the ball.

ITFM predicts the following line-up to take to the field against Brighton:

GK: Supple Dr: Wilnis Dc: De Vos Dc: Naylor Dl: Barron Mr: Sito Mc: Brekke Skard Mc: Juan Ml: Ricards Fc: Lee Fc: Haynes

With Royle stating last week that Garvan is looking jaded, he is likely to rest him, with Skard replacing him.

Sito came through the Reserve game on Monday night in an experimental right-wing role winning plaudits and with Gavin Williams out injured and Darren Currie having a very below par performance against Stoke, Royle may want to take a look at a Wilnis-Sito combination down the right at first-team level.

Brighton are currently bottom of the Championship table and their fate could be in East Anglia's hands. Should Ipswich beat Brighton and Norwich lose at Hillsborough, Brighton will be relegated.
