Gone-silitis for Scowy! - Ipswich Town News
James Scowcroft has recovered from the outbreak of tonsilitis which kept him out of Sunday's side which won 4-1 at Swindon. He is set to come back into midfield for Saturday's game with Bolton, with Mickey Stockwell going back to the right wing-back role he did so well in during the season's first two games. Fabian Wilnis is set to be on the bench along with Jim Magilton and Adam Tanner, both back from injury. Mark Venus is nursing the toe which caused him to miss a number of pre-season games, but he should be OK for Saturday.
Town are asking for sponsors for the statues of Sir Alf Ramsey and Bobby Robson soon to be erected in the Portman Road grounds. The club want companies and individuals to support the project.
