Stewart Linked to Town Thu 21st Mar 2002 09:30 Town are again being linked with Manchester United's Scottish U21 international Michael Stewart. George Burley was first reported to have watched Stewart along with then team-mate Mark Wilson in reserves action back in January 2001. |
Newcastle 2-2 Town Sat 16th Mar 2002 18:22 An Alan Shearer penalty in time beyond the three minutes added on by referee Mike Riley threatened to give all the points to Newcastle from an exciting game at St James' Park. Fortunately for Town, Shearer put his kick wide of the post and a point was the least Town deserved after a battling display had twice seen them ahead through Marcus Bent. That the penalty had been awarded for an obvious dive by Clarence Acuna would have added extra salt to the wound, had Shearer scored. |
Managers on Match Fri 15th Mar 2002 23:54 George Burley says that Town must show belief and character if they are to escape from relegation. Meanwhile former boss Bobby Robson has no qualms about throwing in ex-Town star Kieron Dyer so soon after his latest injury. |
Bent Return Likely Fri 15th Mar 2002 10:45 Town are likely to stick with the dual Marcus attack which ended Wednesday's defeat at Blackburn Rovers. Alun Armstrong looks likely to drop to the bench at Newcastle tomorrow. |
Burley on Loss Thu 14th Mar 2002 03:33 George Burley admitted that Town's first half performance had been so bad he hadn't known quite what to say to his team at half-time. This failure to turn-up before the break was what gave the game to Blackburn. |
Blackburn 2-1 Town Wed 13th Mar 2002 22:52 Despite a second half fightback it ended a black night for Town's black clad men, with George Burley suffering his 100th league defeat as Ipswich manager. A disappointing first half saw Blackburn two-up, but a much improved second half saw Marcus Stewart get back into scoring action, but it wasn't enough to get Town a valuable point. |
Sereni to Return? Wed 13th Mar 2002 09:45 TWTD understands that Italian keeper Matteo Sereni may return to the Town line-up for tonight's crucial bottom of the table clash at Blackburn. Sereni has been out of the side since asking for a rest at Dagenham and Redbridge in January. |
Nigeria Drop Finidi Tue 12th Mar 2002 18:03 New Nigerian manager Adegboye Onigbinde has dropped Finidi George and a number of other senior Nigerian players from a 55-man squad for a pre-World Cup get together. Captain Sunday Oliseh and Victor Ikpeba are also left out of the mildly astonishing squad. |
Bent Bouncing Back Tue 12th Mar 2002 09:27 Marcus Bent says he was disappointed to be dropped for last week's match at Leeds, and is looking to get back to scoring action at Ewood Park on Wednesday night. |
Fab Chuffed Thu 07th Mar 2002 12:39 Fabian Wilnis was chuffed to be back in the Town side which lost 2-0 at Leeds last night. The Dutchman's preformance was one of the brightspots in an otherwise low evening for the Blues. |
