Town boss Paul Jewell has made one change to his line-up for tonight’s game against Wolves at Portman Road with Massimo Luongo replacing Andy Drury in midfield.

Full-back Joe Whight replaces Ronan Murray on the bench, despite the Irishman’s suspension for his red card in the U21s only applying to non-first team games. Full match preview here.

Town: Loach, Edwards, Chambers, Smith, Cresswell, N'Daw, Luongo, Martin, Taylor, Murphy, Chopra. Subs: Lee-Barrett, Ainsley, Whight, Hyam, Drury, Emmanuel-Thomas, Scotland.

Wolves: Ikeme, Stearman, Ward, Johnson, Berra, Boukari, Henry, Edwards, Sako, Sigurdarson, Doyle. Subs: De Vries, Peszko, Ebanks-Blake, Hunt, Doumbia, Foley, Magreitter.

If Jewell goes, perhaps we could get Nigel Adkins since he could be on his way out of Southampton to make way for Rafa Benitez? Wishful thinking.

Yet another result of the high cost of low morale. How many more games can this be allowed to go on for? The relationship between manager and players is clearly not working so something has to give and quick. If Jewell were to go I am certain that without him the team would win their next game. Going to be 200+ posts on this, how many of those wanting to give him one more chance?

Brian Klug and Mat Holland managing the team . That for me would show strong long term planning.

Just for the record: With PJ short by 1 game of Roy Keane

Keane: W28 D25 L28
PJ: W30 D16 L34

where's the improvement there?

We need a manager with an association to the club , the reason is the fans need to galvanize behind the team ,to create an atmospher ,to make the stadium a place to be proud to watch the team. As for right now the jigsaw puzzle is spread all over the house and nobody knows where the pieces are.

I've been following town 40 years. I've seen town torn apart by Port Vale in years gone by as well many other pathetic performances. Over the years the more money town has had to spend the more disjointed town has become. We can't live in the past, like many other clubs but simple and basic things just seemed to have been lost or forgotten by the club.
I'm frustrated like everyone else but what gets on my nerves more then anything else are the non constructive, negative and mainly ignorant comments of so called town fans. These are the same individuals who after seeing town go one down turn on the players rather then get behind the team.

Things have got to change but as far as I'm concerned these fans can be the first to go, we're better off without you. You'd of been calling for Robson's head
in the early years. Complain, rant if you want, but get behind the team or get out.

The simple fact is that Jewell and Clegg have had all off season to get a centre half, they get one and then release one of the only 2 we had - which means we now need another one/two.

They have failed to address this problem for almost 2 years and we had one of the worst Goals against in the division last year and we're currently got the worst goal difference in the league so far this season...

Just over 12 months ago I drove back from Burnley on a cold wet midweek night having been humiliated by another dismal performance and defeat. In fact it was the worst drive home in following the town for 34 years! . PJ got a stay of execution by a daft game of football at Barnsley (thanks mainly to Keith Andrews and Danny Collins goals who were both on loan and long gone !!!). How are we any better now? How long does Iit take PJ to develope a 'team'.? We have tried PJ for some time now, his record is very poor and not getting better at all. Thanks for trying PJ but a change is required now for all involved. Can't see Harry coming on our budget( and certainly wouldn't want to become a Portsmouth) but what about Steve Cotterill? Always done well where ever he has been? Billy Davies also ?

No to Cotterill and Davies - somebody connected to the club, Butcher/Holland or even George back, maybe Curbishley (as an outsider). But agree with the rest of your post.

nobody wants jewell to fail but with 6 games gone we are 9 points adrift of the top teams. we aren't going to challenge for promotion with this painfully slow progress. yes i'm sure he can turn it round but already you can see it's another season lost. why are the fans going to turn up with so little chance of success. it certainly is someones fault, starting the season with a weak and poosrly equipped team. jewel does his cause no good by persiting with a team missing key players, surely he knows that in this tough league you have to get key people in before the season starts otherwise you give up so much ground that you are bound to fail, clearly jewell has to have a good look at himself and decide whetther he really is up to the task, words just aren't enough. he has a reasonable squad, he needs to be less precious about who he gets in and work with the relity he has created for himself. any of the half dozen cbs linked with us have enough talent to improve our team. as the manager his job is create a fully functioning team. if he needs a defensive coach get one in and get rid of hutchings or mccarthy.
it seems that the jewell and his team allow themselves the luxury of failure early in the season therby removing any pressure of having to compete for a top six spot. jewell dosen't seem to learnt or have a grasp of his situation so that he is able to turn it round, he is weak. how can itfc go forward with a guy who doesn't learn. everyone has been patient but paul seems to think he can continue without making very ordinary progres that is the minimum for survial in thse leagu.he needs to forget his own hype and get his hands dirty. he finished 15th last season and he is 23rd now. he has damaged the club and has made his task a lot tougher than it need be. if he can't show some improvement [and few clean sheets would be a start] he knows that he has to walk. we are patient but it's not paul jewell's club. he is supposed to be a football manager but many of the posters on this site have a better grasp of reality than his scouse ego. good luck paul.

I have been patient, and have to simply say this... I am bemused. Magilton at least had us flirting with play offs, Keane and PJ have actually made the club worse... Now... I understand that Clegg isn't making life easy for ITFC at all, but we have wasted SO MUCH money its scarey... Clegg has to go, followed by PJ... We need a good football brain as CEO, we need a good Dir. Of Football who can tie up contracts in a timely manner, and we need a manager who can not just fluff us through the media... at this point id say bring back Burley, he at least knew how to build a good squad on a pittance, just don't give him money and we'll be fine and signing loud once more!
