McCarthy: Players Will Still Want to Win at Burnley Fri 03rd May 2013 10:51 Town boss Mick McCarthy expects his players to show their competitive nature at Burnley on Saturday, despite having secured their Championship place for another season by beating Birmingham last weekend (KO 12.45pm).

McCarthy Faces Dilemmas for Derby Trip Fri 05th Apr 2013 06:00 Manager Mick McCarthy has selection dilemmas ahead of Saturday’s game at Derby County. After the 3-0 home victory over Leeds, the Blues boss made five changes to his more regular line-up for Monday’s 0-0 draw at Millwall. |
McCarthy: No Surprise Forest Are Challenging Tue 05th Mar 2013 06:00 Mick McCarthy says it's no surprise to him that Nottingham Forest, who the Blues face at the City Ground this evening, are currently eighth in the Championship (KO 7.45pm).

Blackburn Rovers 1-0 Town Sat 09th Feb 2013 17:24 Former Blues striker Jordan Rhodes netted just after the hour to see Town to a 1-0 defeat to Blackburn Rovers in a scrappy affair at Ewood Park.
