Town 1-3 Swansea Sat 04th Dec 2010 15:23 Town were let down by poor defending and Andy D’Urso’s failure to award a definite penalty as Swansea came from behind to beat the Blues 3-1 at Portman Road.

Town 1-0 West Brom Wed 01st Dec 2010 21:47 Grant Leadbitter’s second half penalty was enough to give the Blues a 1-0 Carling Cup quarter-final victory over West Brom at Portman Road and send Town into the semi-finals for the first time in a decade. It could have been a more comfortable victory with the Blues missing a number of other chances and having a first half penalty turned down. |
