Joe to Decide on Forster - Ipswich Town News
Boss Joe Royle says he is yet to decide whether to start Nicky Forster against his former club Reading at the Madejski Stadium on Sunday (KO 1.30pm). Forster scored a hat-trick for the reserves on Tuesday night as he continued working on his fitness after undergoing a cartilage operation in August.
Royle said: "I have some big decisions to make over the next few days with regard to our front men and one of them is whether to start with Nicky at the Madejski Stadium.
"I know he will be desperate to play and I'm not saying he won't start, just that I want to make sure he is up to it.
"I will be speaking to Nicky and our medical people to assess the situation. I need to look long and hard at what's right and at the moment there is still a big question mark over our attacking options."
Fellow striker Sam Parkin is fit after injuring his back in the 2-1 home win against Crewe.
