Joe: Lack of Cutting Edge Sat 07th Jan 2006 20:52 Boss Joe Royle bemoaned his side's lack of a cutting edge after their FA Cup exit at the hands of Portsmouth. The resurgent Blues impressed and were unfortunate to lose the game 1-0, Uruguayan striker Dario Silva netting in the first half. |
Town 0-1 Portsmouth Sat 07th Jan 2006 18:53 Unlucky Town's 2005/06 FA Cup campaign came to an end at the third round stage as Portsmouth left Portman Road with a 1-0 victory. Dario Silva scored the goal in the 36th minute, but the Blues controlled most of the game with Jason De Vos hitting the post in the second half. |
Joe: We Deserved More Thu 29th Dec 2005 03:37 Boss Joe Royle felt the Blues deserved at least a point from their trip to Hull City's KC Stadium. Second half goals from Nick Barmby and Craig Fagan gave the home side a 2-0 win. |
Trio Return to Squad Fri 04th Nov 2005 14:51 Town have named Kevin Horlock, Nicky Forster and Ian Westlake in an 18-man squad for Saturday's home game with Plymouth Argyle.

Pablo Town's Only Worry Tue 17th May 2005 23:29 Spanish striker Pablo Couñago is Town's only injury concern ahead of Wednesday's play-off second leg at home to West Ham. The Spaniard injured his groin in Tuesday training and is considered a serious doubt. |
Joe Pondering Dave Deal Mon 18th Apr 2005 14:16 Town boss Joe Royle is undecided whether on-loan defender David Unsworth will be offered a permanent deal with the Blues at the end of the season.

Joe: Forest Will Stay Up Sat 12th Mar 2005 19:21 Boss Joe Royle says he expects Nottingham Forest to stay up despite his side's 6-0 walloping of Gary Megson's men at Portman Road. The Town manager felt playing three centre-halves very much suited the players at his disposal. |
Town 6-0 Forest Sat 12th Mar 2005 19:11 Rampaging Town completely destroyed a woeful Nottingham Forest side 6-0 at Portman Road.

Plymouth 1-2 Town Mon 03rd Jan 2005 19:40 Two second half goals from Darren Currie took the Blues to a deserved 2-1 win over Plymouth Argyle, one of his former clubs.

Kuqi Injury Concern Sun 02nd Jan 2005 21:04 Boss Joe Royle has promised to make one or two changes when the Blues face Plymouth Argyle at Home Park on Monday (KO 3pm). Town have an injury concern regarding striker Shefki Kuqi, who picked up a calf problem in the 2-0 loss to West Ham on New Year's Day. |
