Town 2-1 Derby Sat 06th Dec 2003 18:48 Town moved up to third in Division One with a 2-1 win over Derby but were rarely at their fluent best.

Reuser & McGreal in Squad Thu 20th Nov 2003 14:52 Town manager Joe Royle will include Martijn Reuser and John McGreal in his squad facing Sheffield United on Saturday, although both players are still only fit enough for places on the bench.
