SearchDefender Injury Crisis Mon 03rd Apr 2000 14:52 John McGreal looks set to miss Town's crunch game at West Brom tomorrow with a twisted ankle. The former Tranmere man was injured in training on Saturday when blocking a shot. As well as McGreal Fabian Wilnis and Gary Croft may also miss out with hamstring and groin injuries respectively. Town have a number of options, Mark Venus might move to left back, Wayne Brown might come in or Manu Thetis may get a recall, as might Mickey Stockwell. In all probability Town will play 4-4-2, but with the personnel situation as it is 5-3-2 may be the way Town shape up. As for the strikers David Johnson and James Scowcroft will probably continue although Marcus Stewart is over the worst effects of his injury. Martin Reuser looks likely to start on the bench. Full squad: R Wright, Branagan, Wilnis, Croft, Stockwell, Mowbray, Venus, Brown, McGreal, Thetis, Holland, Magilton, J Wright, Reuser, Scowcroft, Johnson, Naylor, Stewart and Axeldal. | Stewart back for derby Fri 17th Mar 2000 11:14 Town are likely to go into Sunday's derby with Norwich with a full squad, with the exception of Mark Venus who is short of match practice. | Scowy and McGreal Missing Tue 07th Mar 2000 18:15 Both James Scowcroft and John McGreal will be missing from tonight's side meeting Blackburn. Into the squad comes loanee Keith Branagan replacing the injured Mike Salmon. Manu Thetis may get a recall with Michael Clegg dropping to the bench and either Fabian Wilnis or Gary Croft coming in at right wing-back. Full squad: Wright, Branagan, Wilnis, Clegg, Clapham, Croft, Stockwell, Mowbray, Brown, Thetis, Holland, Magilton, Wright, Scowcroft, Johnson, Stewart, Naylor, Axeldal and Midgley. | McGreal Defintely Out Fri 03rd Mar 2000 13:26 Town centre-half John McGreal has been confirmed as missing from tomorrow's squad for the game with Portsmouth. Hot favourite for his position is Manu Thetis after he came through the reserve game on Wednesday with no ill effects despite a game marking Kevin 'Too Tall' Francis. If he isn't considered match fit enough Matt Holland could find himself at centre-half with Jermaine Wright coming into the midfield. The other contenders are Fabian Wilnis, who recently played a reserve game in the centre, and Gary Croft who has recovered quickly from his gash. Croft, however, is likely to return to his right wing back role with Michael Clegg dropping to the bench. Full squad: R Wright, Salmon, Clegg, Clapham, Wilnis, Stockwell, Croft, Mowbray, Brown, Thetis, Holland, Magilton, J Wright, Scowcroft, Johnson, Stewart, Naylor, Axeldal and Midgley. | Birmingham 1-1 Town Mon 28th Feb 2000 10:52 Trevor Francis was probably the more relieved of the two managers as Town and his men shared the points at St Andrew's. A Tony Mowbray own goal was cancelled out by a David Johnson strike on the stroke of half-time in a Sunday lunchtime clash which was never the most enthralling of games. | Town 2-1 Huddersfield Sun 13th Feb 2000 22:37 As was inevitable Marcus Stewart was the man that ultimately made the difference between Town and Huddersfield, his former employer. The £2.5 million man hit the Blues' second in the 73rd minute after James Scowcroft had scored Town's first and Dean Gorre had hit an equaliser for the Yorkshire side. | Holland Signs New Deal/Tomorrow's Team News Fri 04th Feb 2000 13:16 Town skipper yesterday signed the deal which will tie him to Portman Road until 2004. The deal had been offered to him before Christmas and talks had progressed smoothly. Matt said: "It's taken a little while to tie up the loose ends but I was always confident we'd reach agreement. I am ambitious to play in the Premiership and I feel this could be our year. The club has the ambition to buy Marcus Stewart, but that made no difference to my decision. Everyone knows how much I enjoy playing for Ipswich Town." What a man! | Town 1-1 Sheffield United Sat 29th Jan 2000 19:34 Town threw away three points as they allowed Sheffield United to get level after going in one up at half time. Town also threw away the chance to go second as Barnsley lost 3-0 away at Portsmouth. | Bolton 1-1 Town Mon 24th Jan 2000 18:12 A largley unexciting encounter at the Reebok Stadium saw Town drop to fourth but move closer on points to second position. | Boro in For Johnno? Fri 07th Jan 2000 14:05 Several sources are linking Premiership Middlesbrough with a £4 million offer for David Johnson. This story, which first surfaced last week, has already been refuted once by George Burley but it does seem to one that the press are keen on. |
