Jewell: Scotland May Start at Doncaster - Ipswich Town News
Town manager Paul Jewell has hinted that Jason Scotland could come into his starting line-up when the Blues take on Doncaster at the Keepmoat Stadium on Tuesday. Scotland came off the bench to score his eighth goal of the season — his first away from home — during Saturday’s 1-1 draw at Barnsley.
Jewell says the Trinidadian, the subject of a loan offer from Swansea last week, could make his first start under his management: "Jason came on on Saturday and scored a good goal and he might well get his chance to start in the first team, and I’ll be delighted to be talking between now and the end of the season about how many goals he’s got.”
The Blues boss says striker Ronan Murray is fine after picking up a thigh strain in the reserves at Oxford on Wednesday: "He’s OK, he trained yesterday.”
The Irish U19 international is likely to be in the reserves side which faces Colchester’s second string at Playford Road on Wednesday afternoon (KO 2pm).
