Jim Magilton has missed Northern Ireland's trip to Malta after suffering a dead-leg in the 1-0 win over Fulham on Saturday. Also injured were James Scowcroft (cut eye) and Mark Venus (his knee this time). It is likely that both will be fit for Town's next game, the away Sky game at WBA next Tuesday. Also hoping to be fit will be Fabian Wilnis and Marcus Stewart.

Martijn Reuser contract situation is gradually becoming clear. The Town scorer on Saturday was moved from Ajax to Vitesse Arnhem, but Vitesse haven't stumped up the cash so he returned to Ajax before moving to Town. If Town want to purchase him, quite likely if we go up, he says he will cost "millions". Like a player confident of his abilities..
