David Johnson seems likely to be fit for Saturday's game with West Bromwich Albion. Despite this there is a great deal of speculation amongst fans and the local media that Richard Naylor may get a start with James Scowcroft moving into midfield.

Town lost their 100% record when they let an early two goal lead slip in the second half at Sheffield United. A gloriously inept piece of goalkeeping in the third minute from Simon Tracey saw a weak James Scowcroft shot bobble over the 'keeper's shoulder and into the net. |

It's Grim Down South! Tue 20th Jul 1999
That's what Martin Smith thinks according to Town manager George Burley. The 24 year old former Sunderland winger apparently was unsure about moving south and that was why he failed to agree terms with Town. Presumably the beautiful Suffolk countryside and clean air didn't compare with the grim, soot-stained rundown industrial complexes and smog of his native north. |
Town Smith Out Mon 19th Jul 1999
Martin Smith has failed to agree terms with the club after today's discussions. Whether any further talks are likely and whether he is still off on the tour has not been revealed, although we'd imagine that is unlikely. Seemed like quite a decent palyer from what Sunderland fans were saying. |
Scandinavian Blues Mon 19th Jul 1999
Town are hoping to get Martin Smith to put his signature to a contract today. The 24 year old former Sunderland player is amongst those off on the usual pre-season jaunt round Scandinavia.
