Douglas in for Hyam at Bolton - Ipswich Town News

Jonathan Douglas replaces Luke Hyam in central midfield in an otherwise unchanged Town side facing Bolton at the Macron Stadium this evening (KO 8pm).

Hyam drops to the bench, while Cole Skuse (toe ligament) and Daryl Murphy (calf) aren't fit enough to return.

Bolton include former Blue Liam Trotter and one-time Town trialist Lawrie Wilson in their starting XI.

The Blues will be in their orange third kit with the Trotters wearing a special dark blue kit to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Burnden Park Disaster in which 33 fans died.

Bolton: Rachubka, Moxey, Feeney, Spearing, Clough, Osede, Davies, Trotter, Pratley (c), Wilson, Holding. Subs: Campbell, Madine, Danns, Wellington, Dobbie, Woolery, Finney.

Town: Bialkowski, Chambers (c), Smith, Berra, Knudsen, Foley, Douglas, Pringle, Bru, Sears, Pitman. Subs: Gerken, Digby, Hyam, Maitland-Niles, Touré, Varney. Referee: Mark Haywood (West Yorkshire).
