Wickham and McAuley Were in Keane's Plans for Norwich Sat 27th Nov 2010 09:41 Boss Roy Keane says he had hoped that both Connor Wickham and Gareth McAuley would play in Sunday’s East Anglian derby at Norwich until the pair were ruled out with injuries. Wickham played in the reserves friendly at Spurs to prepare himself for Sunday’s game but picked up a thigh injury, while a scan revealed that McAuley would require achilles surgery which will sideline him for two months. |
New Signings In Squad for Sunday's East Anglian Derby Fri 26th Nov 2010 14:26 New loan signings Gianni Zuiverloon and Rory Fallon will go straight into the Town squad for Sunday’s East Anglian derby against Norwich City at Carrow Road (BBC1, 1pm).

Wickham Nets as Reserves Lose at Spurs Wed 24th Nov 2010 18:47 Connor Wickham found the net for the first time in a Town shirt this season but couldn’t prevent the reserves from falling to a 4-1 defeat in a behind-closed-doors friendly at Spurs this afternoon. Wickham's goal will give manager Roy Keane something to think about ahead of his goal-shy side's trip to Norwich for Sunday's East Anglian derby. |
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. The Tigers hit the woodwork twice within a minute in the first half of what was a drab game with neither side creating much in front of goal during the entire 90 minutes. |
Norris and O'Dea Doubts for Hull Trip Fri 19th Nov 2010 11:27 Town boss Roy Keane says David Norris has an outside chance of being fit for Saturday’s visit to Hull City, a club where the Blues skipper once had a loan spell. On-loan Celtic defender Darren O’Dea is also a doubt for the visit to the KC Stadium after picking up a minor hamstring injury while away with Ireland earlier in the week. |

Keane Not Looking for Right-Back Thu 11th Nov 2010 08:58 Town boss Roy Keane says young defender Tom Eastman has done “brilliantly” since he came into the first team and says he’s not looking to sign another right-back.

Keane: It's Even Hard to Win a Place on the Bench Tue 09th Nov 2010 15:47 Boss Roy Keane says it’s not only hard to make his first XI at the moment but there’s also stiff competition for places on the bench. The Town manager says the younger players are making it difficult for more senior players like Mark Kennedy and Darren O’Dea to make the matchday 18 on their return from injury. |
