Croft Banned From Coach - Ipswich Town News

Tagged defender Gary Croft will not be allowed to travel to Bolton on Friday with the rest of the squad. The Prison Service will not allow the recently released player to spend a night away from home meaning that the Town number 25 shirt will be making the journey up to Lancashire the next morning. This increases speculation that Fabian Wilnis will return to the side with Mickey Stockwell replacing the injured Jim Magilton in midfield, should the Ulsterman not make it for Saturday and his deputy Jermaine Wright also remains injured.

Town's reserves won 2-1 at Fulham yesterday with goals from Richard Logan and Steven Moffat. Trialist Søren Frederiksen played but had a quiet game. Full team: Salmon, Kennedy, Croft (A Miller 76), J Miller, Tanner (Moffat 46), Brown, Keeble, Holster, Friars, Logan , Frederiksen. Unused subs:, Inglis, Pullen and O'Neill.
