Several of Town's injury worries are likely to take part in tomorrow's game at Leyton Orient (KO 7.45). Jamie Clapham, John Scales and James Scowcroft are in the squad, although there is no place for Gary Croft. John McGreal and Mark Venus are in the reserve line-up for tonight's match at Hitchin as they are recovering from injury and an operation respectively. Tony Mowbray is in both squads as he is that hard. Full squad: R Wright, Branagan, Wilnis, Clapham, Scales, Bramble, Thetis, Brown, Magilton, Holland, Reuser, Scowcroft, Niven, Johnson, Stewart, Logan, Friars and Mowbray.

Town have appointed Simon Thadani as club Fitness Coach. He will join the Club on a full time basis on a two year contract. He will be responsible for the fitness of all Professional and Academy players. Goalkeeper Coach Malcolm Webster has also joined the club on a full-time basis. He has been involved at the club for five years in a aprt-time capacity, overseeing Richard Wright's development during this time. The former Cambridge United keeper has signed a two year contract with the Blues. Town manager George Burley said of the two appointments: "I feel these are two great acquisitions to my backroom staff. Both Malcolm and Simon will be working closely with the first team squad and will also be involved in improving the young players connected with the Academy. They have both been working with the club for a number of years on a part time basis and I’m sure the decision for them to join us full time will be a great investment and will help with the continual improvement o!

f the club."
