Town boss Roy Keane says his side now need to “push on” after claiming their first league win of the season against Derby County. The Blues travel to Reading’s Madejski Stadium on Saturday looking to claim a second win and a quick escape from the bottom three.
Keane told the club site: "We certainly won't be sitting back now after the win over Derby. We know we have to push on from here because we have a massive challenge ahead of us and that starts with a very important game at Reading this weekend.
"The win is a monkey off the players' backs, if I can put it that way. We all have our pride and it was hurting us and hurting the fans.
"We have not given our supporters much to shout about lately, although over the last four or five weeks we have played some good stuff but not got the results.
"On Saturday we didn't play well but got the win and now we have to kick on against Reading."
Meanwhile, a Berkshire newspaper has revealed that Town paid a loan fee of £200,000 for Reading full-back Liam Rosenior when he moved to Portman Road for the rest of the season in August. As we revealed on Monday, the 25-year-old is able to face his parent club at the weekend.
Elsewhere, Notts County are the latest club linked with Sheffield Wednesday central defender Richard Wood. Town, Coventry and Sheffield United have previously been linked with Wood, who has been transfer-listed by the Owls.
