Town 2-1 Burnley Sat 10th Nov 2012 17:20 DJ Campbell’s late goal saw Town to a 2-1 victory over Burnley in Mick McCarthy’s first home game in charge of the Blues. Daryl Murphy got Town’s first home league win in 11 games — the last came back in March — up and running just after the break with a controversial header, but a Danny Higginbotham own goal put the visitors on terms before Campbell’s 87th minute winner. |

Jewell Considering Changes Against Old Club Tue 23rd Oct 2012 11:26 Boss Paul Jewell is weighing up whether to make changes to his side for his former club Derby County's visit to Portman Road this evening (KO 7.45pm).

Jewell: Short-Term Loans Weren't Part of Plan Fri 05th Oct 2012 06:05 Boss Paul Jewell says he hadn’t planned to bring in short-term loanees such as Richie Wellens, who signed a one-month deal yesterday, and DJ Campbell, who looks set to join him at Portman Road later today, but that he felt they were required to get Town's stuttering season back on track. The Blues manager insists that he still sees building a team as a long-term project. |

Youngsters Byron Lawrence and Joe Whight have both made the trip. |
