IAN Evatt has made four changes for Wanderers' League One clash with Ipswich.

New signings James Trafford and Aaron Morley come into the side, replacing Joel Dixon and George Thomason. 

Gethin Jones and George Johnston come into the defence, while Will Aimson and Dapo Afolayan drop to the bench.

The Whites enter the game on the back of a 2-0 defeat against third-placed Wycombe on Tuesday night.

Meanwhile, Kieran McKenna’s men recorded an emphatic 4-0 win against 10-man Gillingham in their last outing.

Wanderers have faced Ipswich 47 times in their history, with a record of 14 wins, 12 draws and 21 defeats.

Evatt’s men ran out 5-2 winners when the sides met at Portman Road earlier in the season thanks to goals from Eoin Doyle, Josh Sheehan, George Johnston and a brace from Dapo Afolayan.
