Bolton striker Eidur Gudjohnsen could start after joining on a free 14 years after last playing for the club.
Craig Davies looks like missing out with a hamstring injury but youngster Conor Wilkinson is available.
Ipswich will be without midfielder Luke Hyam (Achilles) and Stephen Hunt (virus) for the trip to Lancashire.
On-loan striker Noel Hunt is available for manager Mick McCarthy, though, after he sat out last week's 4-1 win over parent club Leeds United.

No way Eagles - that poncey bird has flown.
As for the game twas a bit dull in places.
Shame for the 2 injuries - Pratley was actually the most comfortable on the ball I've seen him ever today.
Eidur's still got it. Some class touches.
Spearing still can't pass. He's gone in January if we can palm him off on someone - Maybe our mates up in Burnley.
Wilkinson is too lightweight to play up top on his own the way we're playing it to him.
That Tyrone Mings (who's supposed to be the next big thing), played like his surname suggested - he had a stinker - but we didn't get at him the way we did in the first half.
Lonegran good again but a couple of saves I'd have expected a decent keeper to make and one fantastic one.
Referee was soft. All you need to do in this league to win a free kick is at the first sign of a bit of muscle is to fall over.
..and because nobody answered Superwhite's question before - Jupiler is an alcoholic beverage synonymous with the low countries.

Also whilst I'm on. I spotted their keeper actually having a full blown pray just before the second half. None of your quick crossing tosh for him. Full hands together for at least a good minute.
and his beard made him look a little like Bluto from off Popeye.

Performance today could have been better but the result was good.

TMP, Thanks for that but what are you classing as the low countries?

Not good overnight news. Mason is out for 8 weeks with a torn hamstring, clayton possible knee ligament injury, cravies already injured. Our striking options are now serverely limited. As said on the fls these injuries have come at the worst time. Games are coming thick and fast and if you can't win games then it will soon be impossible to close the gap on the playoffs.

It will have to be very early business in Jan and get Heskey signed up.

We have had some bad luck with injuries over the last few yrs that's for sure, and it always seems to be in the positions we have least cover.

If we all chip in for his wages, it will be doable. Anybody up for it?
We could send The Bolton News a mail and see if we can generate enough interest.
