The Brummies have been struggling of late themselves, and will be trying to avoid a third straight defeat tonight when the two teams meet at St Andrews.

"Ipswich are very lucky to have Mick McCarthy as their manager," Rowett said. "He's done a fantastic job for them with very few resources.

"Yes, he is very pragmatic in the way he plays, but that's his style, and we're the same."

Victory for Needham Market, external at home to Harlow Town tonight would put Mark Morsley's (pictured) team on top of the Ryman Premier Division., external

The Marketmen are enjoying their best season since winning promotion to the third tier of non-league football in 2015.

Elsewhere tonight, Lowestoft Town, external will leapfog Leiston (who are in FA Trophy action) and move into the play-off places with victory at Enfield Town.

The two team's drew 1-1 in south London at the weekend, and whoever wins tonight will play at home to Welling on Saturday, 14 January.

For Leiston's players and manager Glenn Driver, it is another chance to test themselves against a team that plays two levels higher in the National League.

"Two years ago I was coaching under 12s for Rushmere Lions so this has all come quite soon," Driver said. "But I believe I have the ability to build and manage teams at this level."

Ipswich Town manager Mick McCarthy has described tonight's opponents Birmingham City as "tough and resolute", adding "they've not got a lot of frills about them".

McCarthy praised the work that his opposite number Gary Rowett's done in the West Midlands, under similar financial constraints to himself.

"I think they're as much like we were when we finished 6th and 7th as any team in the league," he said.

"They more often than not play 4,4,2 they've got Donaldson and Jutkiewicz or Che Adams and they play off them, play up to them so they're always a hard team to play against so I expect a tough game."

BBC Radio Suffolk's coverage of the match begins on FM and DAB at 19:00.

Six people arrested in connection with an incident that took place at West Meadows travellers' site in Ipswich on Sunday night, have been charged with arson with intent to endanger life, and criminal damage.

Mick McCarthy is due to stick with an unchanged team for tonight's away game at Birmingham City.

Although several players have been nursing colds over the past few days, but none of them is set to miss out. 

Teddy Bishop, who was a substitute at the weekend, is the only confirmed absentee, with an ankle injury.

On the day the county's appetite is whetted by news that two more restaurants could be on their way to the Buttermarket Shopping Centre in Ipswich, we've learnt that a doughnut retailer is opening a new store on the site.

Krispy Kreme opens on 7 February, giving you time to shed your excess Christmas pounds and kilograms before they arrive.

The Ipswich Star, external reported this morning that Ipswich Borough Council has had a planning application to create two more restaurant units in the centre.

A spokesman for Ipswich borough council said: "We welcome the news that another business is to open in the Buttermarket early next year.

"This increases the attraction of the shopping centre and the town, and we also look forward to the opening of the cinema."

I've just spoken to Greater Anglia, external, to see if there are any residual problems for commuters between Liverpool Street and Norwich, and there's just one peak inter-city service that's been cancelled.

It's the 18:10 from Liverpool Street, which would have arrived in Norwich at 20.09.

If I hear anything else from them, I'll let you know.

Ipswich Town travel to Birmingham City tonight with manager Mick McCarthy expecting a hard game. 

He said: “Gary Rowett’s 4-4-2 will be tough and resolute and they’ve just come off – a bit like us – a hiding at Newcastle.  

"It’ll be a real tough game - two big fellas up front and they have a way of playing.

"They’re as much like us as any team in the league, so I’ll see.”

We've been following plans to spend £1.2million to contruct a 40-seat visitor cafe and new exhibition space at Framlingham Castle, external.

Steve Bax, regional historic properties director for English Heritage, which owns the castle, said: "The site has a fascinating history and creating a new interpretation and exhibition space will enable visitors to uncover the castle's many stories including how, behind its walls, Mary Tudor was proclaimed Queen of England.

"A new cafe (pictured) will also be a great addition to the site for visitors to enjoy.

"Once the first phase of the project is complete we've then got some ambitious plans to add a new section to the wall walk.

"This section would be fully accessible for wheelchairs and buggies and will create a 360 degree wall walk experience."

A £1.2m project to construct a 40-seat visitor cafe and new exhibition space at Framlingham Castle, external has started.

An original mezzanine level will be reinstated in the castle’s Poorhouse to provide space for a new exhibition on the castle’s history (see below).

The new café and extra retail space will be sited on the ground floor of the Poorhouse, where an exhibition currently stands.

The Red House, which sits in the grounds of Framlingham Castle, will be utilised for office and storage space and will house the cafe’s kitchen and service area. Elsewhere on site, conservation works will take place to some of the castle’s walls. 

During the first phase of the project, which is due to be completed in June 2017, a 7.5m slide will be installed from the wall walk into the castle’s inner court for visitors to enjoy.

Despite Greater Anglia saying earlier that disruption on the main line to Liverpool Street from Norwich was only expected to last until 14:00, it looks as if services aren't quite back to normal yet:

You may remember we asked yesterday how Royal Mail managed to deliver a Christmas card addressed only to "Tony and Sarah Wren - Somewhere near the sea in Suffolk".

We contacted Royal Mail who say they're pleased that they were able to deliver the card, and say it's a testament to the dedication of their staff.

"When Royal Mail gets mail into our network with an incomplete address, we send it to the local mail centre to be processed if there is enough information to do so. 

"Lowestoft is the only delivery office in Suffolk served by Norwich mail centre, so when this letter came into Norwich Mail Centre the staff knew which office to send it on to.

"When mail comes into a delivery office with a partial address, all of our postmen and women look to see if they can recognise the name or description of the address to work out if it is for a customer on their delivery walk. 

"More than half of the postmen and women at Lowestoft delivery office have worked there for more than twenty years and know who most of their customers are."

A fundraising page for money to help in the search for missing RAF serviceman Corrie Mckeague, which topped its original £20,000 target in less than two days, has now reached its revised target of £30,000.

Corrie's mum Nicola Urquhart explains how the money will be spent: "People have been giving me ideas that I've perhaps not thought of.

"It's so much information - about people who were out that night, people that have seen things, but they don't want to go to the police, because they don't think it's important, but it is. 

"I need to get all of that information to the police and it's a massive job. 

"I can now pay a firm to do that and give it to the police in a format they can look through it without it being a drain on their resources,"

A small number of members of the public are to be invited to help Suffolk Lowland Search and Rescue (SULSAR) in the hunt for missing serviceman Corrie Mckeague this weekend.

A zoo has described the birth of a golden-bellied mangabey in Suffolk as "really important".

Terry Hornsey, from Africa Alive in Kessingland, external, said the father of "Nugget" is very, very old and had never bred before he arrived at the park: "He came here as a long shot to breed with one of these two females that came in shortly after he arrived.

"The chances of it happening were quite remote, based on his history. 

"Even if that's the only baby he sires before he dies it's really important."

They're "data deficient" which means very little is known about how many there are, or anything about them in the wild in central Africa, but the species is considered to be endangered, external.

Officers from neighbouring forces are in the county to help maintain a police presence at the travellers' site where there was a double murder last week.

Suffolk Police officers are also being asked to work on their rest days at the West Meadows site near to the Whitehouse junction on the A14 at Ipswich.

 A teenager's been charged with the murders of two men, who died of stab wounds last Thursday. 

Six people are continuing to be questioned after disturbances at the site on Sunday night.
