Town youngster Connor Wickham says he’ll be ready if Town manager Jim Magilton needs him to take part against Doncaster tomorrow.
If Connor does play at all tomorrow, or even before the end of the season, he will become Town's youngster ever player, beating a record set by Jason Dozzell back in 1984.
Wickham: "If I get the chance to play in the first team this season then I know it will be a big step up for me but I'm confident I will be okay.
"It's a physical league but that doesn't worry me. I feel ready for it.
"It's been great to be involved with the first team this week and the manager has said that I may get my chance before the season is over.
"If that happens, it will be fantastic. I've been happy with the progress I have made this season. I've scored a few goals, but to be involved with the first team will obviously be something else.
"I know Jason Dozzell has the record as the youngest player and if I beat that, it will make me very proud, but the most important thing for me is to keep improving and showing what I can do."
