Hull City 1-0 Town Sat 20th Nov 2010 17:09 Robert Koren’s superb 25-yard second half strike was enough to give Hull City a 1-0 win at the KC Stadium and consign the Blues to their third successive defeat.

Wickham and Kennedy Back for Millwall Clash Fri 29th Oct 2010 14:51 Town manager Roy Keane is able to call on striker Connor Wickham and full-back Mark Kennedy when Millwall visit Portman Road on Saturday, the pair having made swifter than expected recoveries from their injuries. Loan midfielders Jack Colback and Jake Livermore are also available again having been ineligible for the Carling Cup tie victory over Northampton. |
Nottingham Forest 2-0 Town Sat 23rd Oct 2010 17:07 Roy Keane was forced to endure another disappointing return to the City Ground as the Blues were beaten 2-0 by his old side Nottingham Forest.
