Town dropped to third following today’s League One fixtures with keeper-coach Jimmy Walker subsequently giving an assessment of the division and how he believes the Blues should fare during the campaign.

The Blues weren’t in action because their scheduled game at Blackpool was moved to the international break a month ago and ended in a 4-1 Town win.

Leaders Peterborough United were defeated 2-0 at Crewe Alexandra, while Hull City, who are at Portman Road a week on Tuesday, defeated Burton Albion by the same scoreline at the KCOM Stadium to go ahead of the Blues who were second going into the weekend. Sixth-placed Sunderland were beaten 2-1 at home by the MK Dons.

Assessing Saturday’s results on Twitter, keeper-coach Walker was bullish about Town’s prospects for the season, while admitting that they’re yet to hit top form.

Town are back in League One action when they face Shrewsbury at Portman Road next Saturday, the first of three home games on the trot with Charlton visiting the next weekend following the Hull fixture.

Before that, they could drop to fourth with Portsmouth, who are currently seventh, at Plymouth on Monday.

Meanwhile, Town’s U18s drew 2-2 with Cambridge’s youngsters in a friendly on the 3G at Playford Road on Thursday evening with the goals scored by Ola Bello and Tyrese Osbourne.

We lack midfield players who are physical and can win the ball ,thats why we get dominated by the better teams in this league. We must get away from this pretty football image we are trying to portray and adjust to the league we are in.
