The former England international, who scored his first Town goal at Hull earlier in the week, was starting his second game for the Blues, having made his debut as a sub against QPR a week ago. Jim: Lee Idiotic Sat 10th Mar 2007 19:24 Boss Jim Magilton slammed striker Alan Lee for getting himself sent off for handball late in the 2-0 defeat to Southend.

Squad for Palace Mon 10th Mar 2003 11:25 The squad for tomorrow's game against Crystal Palace has been announced.

The 18-year-old has long been a target of the Blues, but they are concerned that the level of football he is playing at the moment (Scottish First Division) isn't of a high enough standard for him to be properly judged. Villa 2 - 1 Town Sat 10th Mar 2001 18:24 Town will see themselves as very unfortunate to have come out of this game without even a point. Despite rarely playing at their best the Blues were the better side for most of the game. Town went ahead through Alun Armstrong halfway through the first half, but two Julian Joachim goals in the second half gave Villa the three points.   On this day in 2000 Scowy Very Doubtful Fri 10th Mar 2000 13:41 Town's man of the season so far, James Scowcroft is rated as very doubtful for tomorrow's game at Wolves. The other man missing from Tuesday's 0-0 draw with Blackburn, John McGreal stands a good chance of being fit, although George Burley may stick with Manu Thetis who had an impressive time against the Ewood Park side. Thetis and Fabian Wilnis were singled out for special praise by George Burley and both will be looking for starts at Molineux. Pressuring Wilnis will be Gary Croft who has now recovered from his gashed knee. Also nearing the first team is Mark Venus who came through the reserve game in the week, but is not considered fit enough to start tomorrow. Other centre-half injury problem Titus Bramble has also resumed training, although he is a long way from being fit for first team consideration. George Burley has told Marcus Stewart to be more selfish and to drop deep less. After two goals in his first two games Stewart has failed to find the net in his next three. Probable squad: R Wright, Branagan, Wilnis, Clegg, Clapham, Croft, Stockwell, Mowbray, Brown
