Town manager Joe Royle says that although the sales of Darren Ambrose and Hermann Hreidarsson to Newcastle and Portsmouth respectively are disppointing, he is not surprised. The pair travel to talk about their moves today.

Royle says he will continue to push Town in the direction of the play-offs: "It's a sad loss but not totally unexpected but now we've got to get on with it.

"The survival of the club is all important and we must accept it. It will not affect our determination to go for a play-off place."
