Preview: Town – Swansea
By Aston
October 17 2008
Town are back in League action tomorrow following a two week international break, Swansea City coming to Portman Road tomorrow afternoon.
Town have slight doubts over the fitness of Gareth McAuley, Alex Bruce and Pim Balkestein, although all three have trained this week. Ben Thatcher will definitely miss out.
Town coach Bryan Klug: "We are much better than 17th. The players believe that and in the league we are in, 17th is just three points away from sixth place so we can soon push up the table.
"We know we have not got the points we should have but I believe in the players and the squad is getting stronger all the time.
"The players are beginning to get to know each other and hopefully over the next six games we will pick up the points we should and carry that on for the rest of the season."
The Swans could be missing winger Andrea Orlandi has a leg injury, Tom Butler missed The Swans last game with a groin injury but should be fit for tomorrow.
Swansea boss Roberto Martinez: "It's important to learn from the first break because it took us too long to get back to ourselves.
"Ipswich have lost just three times at home in the league since March 2007 and this shows how strong they are at Portman Road.
"They control the games. They are one of those teams who want to get hold of the ball and feel comfortable with it.
"They've got fantastic strength all over the park."
Odds:
Town: 11/10
Draw: 12/5
Swansea: 16/5
