Town have the chance to return to the top six tomorrow afternoon if they can beat Nigel Adkins Scunthorpe United at Glanford Park.
Town will go into tomorrow's game without David Norris, Jon Walters, Shefki Kuqi and Richard Naylor but Manchester United loanee Danny Simpson should be in the squad if all the paperwork is completed in time, Jordan Rhodes, Liam Trotter and Gavin Williams could return to the squad.
Possible Town squad: Bywater; Wright, Bruce, De Vos, Simpson, Sito; Haynes, Sumulikoski, Garvan, Quinn; Lee, Counago; Colgan, Harding, Miller, Rhodes, Trotter, Williams, Casement, Roberts.
Town manager Jim Magilton: no pre-match thoughts currently available
Town fans are reminded that there are no cash turnstiles tomorrow afternoon.
Scunthorpe have doubts over the fitness of Midfielder Grant McCann and defender Marcus Williams, Cliff Byrne is also a doubt for The Iron.
Scunthorpe boss Nigel Adkins: "We are looking at Saturday's game as one we have got to win, we are confident we can get a result from it. The players' spirit is still high, the work ethic is still there, and it is a game which need to win."
"They are another side gunning for promotion to the Premiership, they have had massive investment and are a very, very good side.
"We were very unfortunate when we went down to Portman Road. We took the game to them and nearly ended their fine home run at that time."
Possible Scunthorpe United squad: Murphy; Hobbs, Crosby, Butler, Baraclough; Cork, Goodwin, McCann, Morris; Paterson, Horsfield; Lillis, Sparrow, Hayes, Weston, May, Hunt.

Town: 6/4
