Stoke 2-0 Town Tue 02nd Mar 2004 23:06 An uninspired Town fell to their second consecutive away defeat as Stoke ran out 2-0 winners at the Britannia Stadium.

Bart Out, Shefki In Mon 01st Mar 2004 13:56 Midfielder Chris Bart-Williams will miss Tuesday's trip to Stoke after aggravating his back injury in the 2-0 win against Preston on Saturday (KO 7.45pm).

Bart-Williams Returns Thu 26th Feb 2004 14:02 Town manager Joe Royle has an almost full squad to pick from ahead of Saturday's visit by Preston North End.

Burnley 4 - 2 Town Sat 21st Feb 2004 18:24 Town's unbeaten away run stretching back to September ended as the Blues were defeated 4-2 in a scrappy game at Turf Moor.

Bart-Williams Misses Trip Fri 20th Feb 2004 12:51 Fabian Wilnis and Tommy Miller are both fit enough to be in the Town squad travelling to Burnley for Saturday's game, having recovered from shoulder and ankle injuries respectively.

Town 3-1 Bradford Sat 14th Feb 2004 18:43 Town got back to winning ways with a mainly comfortable 3-1 victory over Bradford.
