Cardiff City 0-2 Town Sat 05th Mar 2011 19:55 Two second-half Jimmy Bullard goals saw the Blues to a superb victory at Cardiff in front of the Sky cameras. Town had been very much second best in the opening period but once Bullard’s brilliant 67th minute strike had put them in front the Blues were always in control and the on-loan Hull man sealed it on 86 with a deflected freekick. |
Jewell: Next Three Games a Test of Town's Progress Fri 04th Mar 2011 16:13 Boss Paul Jewell says Town’s next three games, starting with Saturday’s live Sky match at Cardiff (Sky Sports Two/HD Two 5.20pm), will give a good indication of how far the Blues have progressed under his management. Town subsequently face Reading at home and then a trip to Leeds. |
Town 0-2 Portsmouth Sat 26th Feb 2011 17:02 Town were again made to rue failing to make the most of their first half possession and chances as Portsmouth left Portman Road with a 2-0 win. The Blues could have been well in front having dominated before the break but it was Pompey who claimed the points via second half goals from one-time Town loan target David Nugent and David Cotterill. |
Jewell Won't Make Rash Changes for Pompey Visit Fri 25th Feb 2011 13:32 Boss Paul Jewell says he won’t make any rash changes to his side when Portsmouth visit Portman Road on Saturday despite Tuesday’s 2-0 loss to league leaders QPR. The Town manager, who will have to make one change with Colin Healy out injured, has generally been pleased with his side’s recent performances but feels they can do better in front of goal. |
Jewell: Fringe Players Showing Right Attitude Tue 22nd Feb 2011 15:31 Boss Paul Jewell says the players currently out of his first team are showing the right attitude as they look to win a place in the starting XI. Defenders Tommy Smith and Darren O’Dea, midfielders Luciano Civelli and Jaime Peters and striker Tamás Priskin are currently amongst those regularly amongst the substitutes and not starting. |
Bullard Set to Return to Face League Leaders QPR Tue 22nd Feb 2011 12:20 Paul Jewell is expected to recall loanee Jimmy Bullard for the trip to league leaders QPR but the Blues boss says picking his midfield for this evening's game was the toughest call of his time at Portman Road (KO 8pm). The midfielder missed Saturday’s 1-1 draw with his parent club Hull City as he was unavailable under the terms of his loan. |
Doncaster 0-6 Town Tue 15th Feb 2011 22:01 Connor Wickham hit his first senior hat-trick as Town continued their resurgence under Paul Jewell with a 6-0 destruction of Doncaster at the Keepmoat Stadium, the Blues’ first ever win on Rovers turf. Sam Hird’s 25th minute own goal set the Blues on their way with Wickham subsequently netting his three, the last a penalty, and Colin Healy and Gareth McAuley one each. |
Jewell Unlikely to Make Too Many Changes for Doncaster Trip Tue 15th Feb 2011 11:22 Town boss Paul Jewell says he’s unlikely to emulate his predecessor Roy Keane and make widespread changes to his team for this evening’s game at Doncaster’s Keepmoat Stadium (KO 7.45pm). Skipper David Norris is out injured and the Blues manager is weighing up whether one or two players might need a rest after a hectic schedule in recent weeks. |
Barnsley 1-1 Town Sat 12th Feb 2011 17:14 A last-gasp Jacob Mellis goal prevented the Blues from claiming four league wins in a row for the first time since 2004. Sub Jason Scotland had put Town ahead with eight minutes left, only for the Barnsley midfielder to hit back seconds before the final whistle. |
Town 3-0 Sheffield United Sat 05th Feb 2011 17:40 Goals from Damien Delaney, David Norris and a stunning third from Connor Wickham saw the Blues to a 3-0 victory over nine-man Sheffield United. Delaney put Town in front with a header in a very poor first half with Norris adding the second after the break. Grant Leadbitter missed a penalty before Wickham brilliantly ran from his own half to seal the win, prior to Robert Kozluk and Lee Williamson receiving red cards within a minute during the closing stages. |
