Town 1-0 Stoke City Sat 18th Oct 2003 21:33 Matt Richards' first half goal was enough to beat Stoke City and give the Blues their seventh win in eight games. In truth it should have been more comfortable, Pablo Couñago missed a number of opportunities while Georges Santos had a second half header cleared off the line. Late on there was a scare when a Keith Andrews effort hit both of Kelvin Davis' posts. |
Miller Added to Squad Fri 17th Oct 2003 15:24 Midfielder Tommy Miller has been added to the squad for Stoke after coming through a week's training. Miller has been out of the side since the West Ham match at the end of August with a knee tendon injury. |
Joe: We Were Outstanding Tue 14th Oct 2003 23:30 Town manager Joe Royle hailed his players' five-goal first half display as outstanding and felt that it was only a matter of time before his side dished out a hammering. |
Town 6 - 1 Burnley Tue 14th Oct 2003 23:19 Rampant Town demolished Burnley 6-1 with a rip-roaring display as they climbed to seventh. A stunning first half saw the Blues go in 5-0 at the break. The second half was always going to be an anti-climax with Shefki Kuqi's sixth the only addition while Burnley's Delroy Facey grabbed a consolation. |
No Season Loan for Chris Tue 14th Oct 2003 00:37 On-loan midfielder Chris Bart-Williams says he wants to stay at Town for the rest of 2003/04. However, under current Football League rules, none of the Blues' current loanees can remain at Portman Road more than three months without signing permanent deals. |
Forest Game Switch Likely Mon 13th Oct 2003 19:37 Town's visit to the City Ground to face Nottingham Forest on November 15th is likely to be postponed due to international calls for the home side. |
Joe Wants to Keep Loanees Mon 13th Oct 2003 14:13 Town boss Joe Royle says that although he is keen to sign all three loanees the club's finances mean that at present this is out of the question. Alan Mahon, Chris Bart-Williams and Shefki Kuqi have all impressed since joining the Blues on a short-term basis. |
Santos Again a Doubt Mon 13th Oct 2003 14:01 Georges Santos is again Joe Royle's big worry ahead of Tuesday's home game with Burnley. The centre-half is currently feeling pain from both groin areas and is rated 50-50 by the Blues' boss. |
Joe: Chances Missed Sat 11th Oct 2003 20:29 Town manager Joe Royle felt his should have scored more than the one goal which beat Bradford City on Saturday afternoon. |
