Town boss Paul Jewell faces selection dilemmas ahead of Saturday’s home game against Doncaster Rovers with the Blues suffering from injuries and a loss of form. Ibrahima Sonko, Lee Bowyer and Damien Delaney are all out, while Nathan Ellington and Daryl Murphy are doubts.

Striker Jason Scotland says the Blues shouldn’t expect an easy game on Saturday, despite Doncaster currently sitting at the bottom of the Championship. The former Trinidad and Tobago international looks set to start alongside Michael Chopra up front for Town.

Central defender Ívar Ingimarsson admits that he’s had a frustrating time since joining the Blues on a free transfer in the summer after his release by Reading. The 34-year-old Icelander suffered a thigh injury which caused him to miss much of pre-season but was back in action in time to make his debut at Bristol City on the opening day of the campaign, only to break down again in the days following the 3-0 win at Ashton Gate.

Ex-Cardiff City boss Dave Jones says the Welsh side were well aware that their former striker Michael Chopra’s gambling was getting out of hand last season. The 27-year-old, who recently spent three weeks in the Sporting Chance Clinic as he seeks to address his problem, is claimed to have been threatened by someone demanding the repayment of debts at the Blues’ training ground by one of this morning’s tabloids.
