Thirteen Still Civelli's Lucky Number Mon 12th Jul 2010 09:09 Returning midfielder Luciano Civelli says his switch from squad number 13 to 26 had nothing to do with the ill luck he has suffered since he joined the Blues in January 2009. The Argentinian made his first appearances in 16 months last week at Newmarket and Histon, a knee ligament injury having put him out of action in only his eighth game for the Blues. |

Ablett Should Sign Over Weekend Sat 10th Jul 2010 09:45 Blues boss Roy Keane hopes new coach Gary Ablett will sign his contract over the weekend.

Keane: Don't Read Too Much Into First Two Games Sat 10th Jul 2010 09:39 Boss Roy Keane says no much should be read into his use of a 4-3-3 formation in the two pre-season friendlies so far and which players have started the victories at Newmarket and Histon.
