Watford 2-1 Town Tue 19th Oct 2010 21:49 Skipper David Norris netted his fifth goal of the season but it wasn’t enough to prevent the Blues from falling to a 2-1 defeat at Watford.

Murphy Could Miss Blades Clash Fri 30th Apr 2010 13:57 Town boss Roy Keane could be without loan striker Daryl Murphy when Sheffield United come to Portman Road for the final game of the season on Sunday (KO 1pm).

Keane Promises Changes for Trip to Peterborough Tue 16th Feb 2010 08:20 Boss Roy Keane says he will make changes to his team ahead of tonight’s trip to bottom-of-the-table Peterborough despite the Blues defeating QPR 2-1 at Loftus Road in their last game.

Leicester City 1-1 Town Sun 10th Jan 2010 16:57 Town recorded their 13th draw of the season as the trip to Leicester City ended 1-1. David Norris pressured Ryan McGivern into an own goal 20 seconds after the start with Steve Howard equalising for the Foxes before the break. |
Town 0-0 Peterborough Tue 08th Dec 2009 21:40 Town recorded a goalless draw despite dominating for the second successive game as bottom-of-the-table Peterborough left Portman Road with a point.

Moments later Hall also turned down what looked to be a very good Town call for a penalty. |
