Hutchings Set to Be Jewell's Town Assistant
Hutchings Set to Be Jewell's Town Assistant

Town boss Paul Jewell looks set to appoint his former Bradford, Wigan and Derby assistant Chris Hutchings as his number two at Portman Road. Hutchings, 53, was sacked as manager of Walsall last week and was always expected to be reunited with Jewell at Town.

Jewell said: “I’m going to bring in a senior coach to work alongside me. That will happen next week.

“Chris is a terrific coach and we’ve enjoyed success both at Bradford and at Wigan. Chris is most certainly well in the frame.

“I’ve got a couple of people to speak to and hopefully I want to get it nailed down no later than Tuesday if I can.”

The new Blues manager has already brought in his former Bradford strike partner Sean McCarthy as a coach and says the one-time Truro City boss has enjoyed his first two days at Playford Road: “I played with Sean, he was the greediest striker I’ve ever played with.

“Sean will work alongside us. He has great enthusiasm, a good knowledge of the game and he’s loving every second of it.”

Jewell confirmed that Darren O’Dea will be on loan until May and he will look at Rory Fallon and Jake Livermore’s situations next week: “I think Darren’s is done to the end of the season, I think that was agreed before I got here and I’m quite happy with that.

“Rory’s loan is up next weekend. I’ll speak to Rory and I spoke to Peter Reid yesterday and we’ll make that decision next week.”

Jewell will have the on-loan Pablo Couñago and Lee Martin watched when they play for Crystal Palace and Charlton respectively this weekend, while Town’s third loanee Kevin Lisbie is ineligible to face the Blues for Millwall.

The new boss, who will also talk to people at the club who know more about the players involved, confirmed that Town can recall any of the loanees from their spells if he wants them.

Gotta love people who say Fallon is an average player just shows you how little they really know about football. It has been a long time since we had anyone so good in the air. And the fact that Jewell said about McCarthy “I played with Sean, he was the greediest striker I've ever played with. Sean will work alongside us. He has great enthusiasm, a good knowledge of the game and he's loving every second of it.”

That is the one thing wrong with Fallon he is not greedy enough, get him to become greedy and you'll his goal record go up.....and we now have the coach in place to work with him on that....

i personaly think we must give martin another try with the new management, as well with civille for the left, they both can do a job for us but it needs trying out quick i feel, fallon on the other hand not so sure some times i think you can have to many players, personnaly i feel with priskin and whickam and scotland and murry we have enough in that dept, and will help bring the youngsters on as the reserve system is awfull for that,.

its the playmaker we lack and dont think leadbitter is the awnswer he is good but to much like norris, bit like having lampard and gerrard togther, we need a magilton in that slot and we aint got one..

but come on you blues lets kick some millwall but but i would be happy with a draw but a win would be good.

Why is it that 'new brooms' always feel the need sweep things clean when they arrive, what a waste of time and resource.
Q for Oly(mpics) Clegg - How much of my season ticket money has it taken to terminate coaching staff contracts recently - I really want to know

Rest assured, we haven't lost a game i've been to so far this season and i'll be there today so Jewell won't have a defeat on his first game in charge. With this in mind...anyone want to give me their Arsenal ticket!!!!?

Lee Martin will never be any good whoever he plays for. He can't even get in the Charlton team so why should be be a success here. The bloke runs around like a headless chicken - one of the worst if not worst purchases in the history of ITFC in terms of value for money.
