Joe Glad Forster's Back Sat 01st Oct 2005 19:24 Boss Joe Royle admitted he had to give Nicky Forster longer than he had planned to after the Blues had rarely threatened in the first hour of the game against Crewe. Forster, who had missed seven weeks after undergoing cartilage surgery, scored his second goal of the season to give the Blues an important 2-1 victory. |
Town 2-1 Crewe Sat 01st Oct 2005 19:05 Darren Currie and the returning Nicky Forster scored as Town came from behind to beat Crewe 2-1 at Portman Road.

Joe Bid Before George Axe Fri 30th Sep 2005 13:36 Town chairman David Sheepshanks made an approach for Joe Royle prior to George Burley's sacking, according to the current manager's new autobiography. Royle took over from Burley late in October 2002, just over a fortnight after the Scot had been relieved of his duties. |
Forster on the Bench Fri 30th Sep 2005 00:33 Striker Nicky Forster will be on the bench when the Blues face Crewe at Portman Road on Saturday. Forster has been out of action since undergoing a cartilage operation in mid-August having made only three appearances after joining Town on a free transfer in the summer. |
Burnley 3-0 Town Wed 28th Sep 2005 03:59 Disappointing Town fell to a 3-0 defeat at Burnley's Turf Moor. The Blues had started brightly but rarely looked like getting back into the game after James O'Connor's 33rd minute opener, Garreth O'Connor and Chris McCann adding to the Clarets' lead in the second half. |
No New Injury Worries Mon 26th Sep 2005 20:54 Boss Joe Royle has the rare luxury of being able to field an unchanged side when the Blues travel to Turf Moor to face Burnley on Tuesday night (KO 7.45pm). The Town squad stayed in the North after Saturday's 2-0 win at Leeds and have been training at Unibond League club Radcliffe Borough. |
Cardiff Pair Linked Sat 24th Sep 2005 09:25 Cardiff strikers Alan Lee and Stuart Fleetwood are the latest players to be mentioned as possible Town loanees. Boss Joe Royle is refusing to comment one way or another on his current targets. |
Squad for Trips North Fri 23rd Sep 2005 14:09 Town have named an 18-man squad for the trips to Leeds on Saturday and Burnley on Tuesday. Dutch defender Fabian Wilnis is available again after his groin injury, while young right winger Danny Haynes keeps his place. |
Joe: We'll Appeal Sun 18th Sep 2005 17:03 Boss Joe Royle confirmed that the Blues will appeal Sito's red card against Norwich. The Town manager says he is unsure that there was any contact between the Spaniard and Canaries striker Kevin Lisbie in the 18th minute incident which all but handed the game to the visitors. |
Norwich 1-0 Town Sun 18th Sep 2005 16:49 Ten-man Town were unlucky to be on the end of a 1-0 defeat to Norwich City at Portman Road. Once again the Blues were on the end of poor derby refereeing, Sito controversially seeing red on 18. Darren Huckerby scored the only goal in a second half largely controlled by Town. |
