More Transfer Rumours - Ipswich Town News
This morning's papers contain more of the type of rumours we are set to expect throughout the summer. Charlton are apparently after Eidur Gudjohnsen and Mark Fish, but if there is no God and Bolton are promoted, Alan Curbishley will look to purchase David Johnson and James Scowcroft. All seems a bit far-fetched to me and could well just be a re-hash of old stories linking Charlton with Johnson and Scowcroft.
Both Johnson and Gudjohnsen are rated as doubtful for Sunday with Town awaiting results of x-rays on Johnno's shoulder/neck area and Gudjohnsen resting with his knee heavily strapped. Tony Mowbray should be fit despite heavy bruising around his eye.

McKenna: An Inevitable DecisionTown boss Kieran McKenna says it was an ‘inevitable decision’ for referee Stephen Martin to abandon the Blues’ match at Blackburn Rovers and expects to return to Ewood Park to restage the contest.
Blackburn Rovers 1-0 Ipswich Town - Match AbandonedTown look set to face a return trip to Blackburn Rovers later in the season after this afternoon’s game was abandoned after 80 minutes due to a waterlogged pitch with the home side 1-0 up and with the Blues down to 10 men. Jacob Greaves was shown a straight red card four minutes after the break for hauling down Yuki Ohashi, then Rovers skipper Todd Cantwell netted a penalty on 59, but the heavy rain had made the game increasingly farcical the longer it progressed and in the 80th minute referee Stephen Martin took the players off and then 25 minutes later abandoned it entirely.
