Town boss Mick McCarthy has named an unchanged team aside from Bartosz Bialkowski replacing Dean Gerken in the starting XI for this evening’s home game against Bolton Wanderers.

McCarthy said yesterday that keeper Gerken wouldn’t be risked having been knocked unconscious at Middlesbrough on Saturday.

Ipswich-born former Northgate pupil and one-time Blue Liam Trotter starts for the visitors, who make a late change on the bench with Kaiyne Woolery replacing Adam Le Fondre.

Town: Bialkowski, Chambers (c), Mings, Berra, Smith, Skuse, Bishop, Parr, Tabb, Murphy, Sears. Subs: Kenny, Clarke, Anderson, Chaplow, Bru, Varney, Wood.

Bolton: Amos, Vela, Mills (c), Dervite, Ream, Trotter, Coke, Walker, Rochinha, Gudjohnsen, C Davies. Subs: Bogdan, Moxey, Woolery, Hall, Twardzik, Bannan, Threlkeld. Fred Graham (Essex).

bluefeast added 19:23 - Mar 17 If we do not get a result tonight ,ie a win then rightly or wrongly i suspect a fairly large section of the crowd will let MM know their thoughts. What will he do ,tell them all to F off. We have never needed a win this season like we do tonight.COYB dont let us down again...
