Croft and Thetis to Show Fitness Wed 01st Mar 2000 19:53
Gary Croft and Manu Thetis are both out to prove their fitness in today'd reserve game at Oxford United. Crof has recovered far more quickly than expected from his gash sustained against Huddersfield whilst Manu is back after an ankle injury cut short the first game of his return from a hamstring problem. If they do well both could find themselves in the side for Saturday's game with Portsmouth. Croft in place of loanee Michael Clegg and Thetis in place of the injured John McGreal. French loanee Patrice Maurel plays his second game for Town's reserves. Full squad: 1. James Pullen 2 John Kennedy 3 Gary Croft 4. Manuel Thetis 5. Justin Miller 6. Chris Keeble 7. Patrice Maurel 8. Marco Holster 9. Jonas Axeldal 10. Neil Midgley 11. Sean Friars 12. Kevin Inglis 13. Tomi Niemi 14. Adam Miller 15. Richard Logan 16. Colm Daly.

McGreal Almost Certainly Out Saturday Tue 29th Feb 2000 10:25
Town centre-half John McGreal is almost certain to miss Saturday's Portman Road clash with Pompey after damaging a medial ligament at Birmingham on Sunday. Although the injury looked better on Monday morning than expected it is still expected to keep him out for the weekend and possibly the midweek game with Blackburn. Town have a number of options as a replacement, but the most likely is that Manu Thetis will come back into the side. Manu hasn't played an awful lot in recent months due to a hamstring injury and then an ankle injury which hampered his return. But he has a chance to impress in the reserves tomorrow and could find himself in the Saturday's team. Other options include moving Matt Holland to centre-half, bringing in Titus Bramble (another one short of match fitness) or moving Fabian Wilnis to an unfamiliar position. Wilnis played at centre-half in a recent reserve game and did little wrong. Saturday's game is selling out fast and it would be wise to purchase your tickets as soon as possible. The same goes for the derby game with Norwich which has only 1500 restricted view and single seats left. Both the North Stand and the Britannia Stands have sold out.
