Boss Mick McCarthy says midfielder Paul Anderson has been “different class” since becoming a regular in the side in September.
The summer signing from Bristol City has made 12 starts and three sub appearances for the Blues but is yet to complete a full 90 minutes in the league.
"I didn’t even know that,” McCarthy said. "He’s been different class, Ando. He works his bollocks off when he’s on, that’s why.
"If I need somebody to shore it up and we’re in front, it’s always the poor old wingers who get the hook, it always was and always is.
"He’s fine, he’s fit as a flea, Ando. I have to say he puts a shift in over and above, you should watch him and just take notice of how much he works, tucks in, gets back out, chases the full-back.
"He’s been great, I’m delighted with him. I didn’t know he hadn’t finished a game. I better leave him on, hadn’t I?”
Anderson’s remarkable blue moustache was marked 10 out of 10 by the Daily Mail, which named him the ‘winner’ of Movember.
McCarthy says the 25-year-old fully deserved the accolade: "I should think he did! I notice it’s gone now though.”
The Town boss joined in the club’s Movember exploits and plans to stick with the bearded look "Well, it’s still here, isn’t it? I kinda like it.”
