Bart in for Miller? - Ipswich Town News
Town boss Joe Royle says that midfielder Chris Bart-Williams is looking increasingly fit and could be set to start Town's play-off first leg against West Ham on Saturday. Tommy Miller is a big injury concern and the former Charlton man could take over from him in midfield.
Royle said: "Tommy is still a worry at this stage. On the plus side Chris Bart-Williams is a lot fitter and he would be favourite to start if Tommy doesn't make it."
Bart-Williams has missed the vast majority of Town's games since February due to a back injury. A recent injection seems to have resolved the problem and the ex-Sheffield Wednesday and Nottingham Forest player has come through a number of reserve games.
Town could also have striker Pablo Couñago back for some stage of the play-offs after missing the last two months due to hamstring and groin injuries. The Spaniard returned to full training last week.
