Town Start Easter Fixtures at Jewell's Old Club Derby Fri 06th Apr 2012 10:15 Boss Paul Jewell returns to his former club Derby as the Blues start their Easter fixtures at Pride Park on Saturday. The Town manager was with the Rams from November 2007 to December 2008 but managed only 12 wins in his 58 games in charge. |
Town 1-0 Barnsley Sat 31st Mar 2012 17:00 Daryl Murphy’s fourth goal of his second loan spell with the Blues was enough to see Town to a 1-0 victory over Barnsley at Portman Road. The Irishman struck soon after half-time with the on-loan Celtic man and Lee Martin subsequently having good chances to add to the Blues’ lead, while Jay Emmanuel-Thomas struck the bar. |
Jewell Yet to Decide on Team for Barnsley Fri 30th Mar 2012 13:49 Town boss Paul Jewell says he’s yet to decide on his team for Saturday’s home game against Barnsley, although he expects to make one or two changes with some of his players tired as they go into their eighth game of the month. |
Town 1-1 Middlesbrough Tue 27th Mar 2012 22:03 Grant Leadbitter missed a penalty but then slammed in a stunning goal as Town drew 1-1 at home to Middlesbrough. After a dull first half, the visitors went in front via sub Lukas Jutkiewicz, Boro keeper Jason Steele having saved Leadbitter’s penalty, but the midfielder hammered in an equaliser with 16 minutes remaining. |
Leadbitter Back for Boro Re-Run Tue 27th Mar 2012 12:27 Grant Leadbitter will return to the Town midfield for tonight’s restaging of the Middlesbrough home game which was abandoned in February due to a frozen section of pitch (KO 7.45pm). The 26-year-old, back after a one-game ban for his red card against Burnley, looks set to come into Paul Jewell’s side for veteran Lee Bowyer. |
Watford 2-1 Town Sat 24th Mar 2012 17:15 Town’s Watford hoodoo stretched to 15 games as the Hornets came from behind to beat the Blues 2-1 at Vicarage Road. Paul Jewell’s men should have been more than Jay Emmanuel-Thomas’s goal in front at half-time, Michael Chopra having missed a sitter, but were second best after the break with goals from Sean Murray and Troy Deeney — the latter after a Carlos Edwards error - seeing the home side to victory. |
Chops Benefited from Being Left Out Sat 24th Mar 2012 09:27 Blues boss Paul Jewell says striker Michael Chopra benefited from being left out of the starting line-up for most of January’s fixtures. Since his return in the 5-1 home hammering of West Ham, the 28-year-old has netted seven goals in 10 games taking his total to 14 for the season. |
Jewell Decided on Leadbitter's Replacement for Watford Trip Fri 23rd Mar 2012 14:51 Town boss Paul Jewell says he's decided who will replace suspended midfielder Grant Leadbitter in the Blues’ midfield for Saturday’s visit to bogey club Watford. Ex-Luton man Andy Drury appears to be the favourite to regain his place in the centre alongside Lee Bowyer as Town look to end a winless run of 14 games against the Hornets and win at Vicarage Road for the first time in nine years. |
Town 1-0 Burnley Wed 21st Mar 2012 22:06 Michael Chopra’s goal in the 54th minute saw the Blues to a 1-0 victory over Burnley, their fifth home win in a row. After an understated first half, Town dominated the second and in the end should have won more comfortably, despite having Grant Leadbitter red-carded in the closing moments. |
Jewell Set to Tweak His Side for Burnley's Visit Wed 21st Mar 2012 10:42 Boss Paul Jewell looks set to tweak his side as the Blues go into their fifth game in March with Burnley the opposition at Portman Road this evening (KO 7.45pm). The Town manager has said one or two players have gone slightly off the boil recently with matches coming thick and fast. |
