Skuse Fine to Face Leeds Fri 23rd Aug 2013 15:23 Manager Mick McCarthy says midfielder Cole Skuse will be fit to take his place in the Town midfield when Leeds visit Portman Road on Saturday afternoon. The 27-year-old was forced off at half-time at QPR last week due to an Achilles’ injury. |
QPR 1-0 Town Sat 17th Aug 2013 17:03 Debutant sub Tom Hitchcock scored in the final minute to consign the Blues to a 1-0 defeat at QPR.

McCarthy: We Can Get Something at QPR Fri 16th Aug 2013 13:05 Boss Mick McCarthy believes Town can get a result at QPR on Saturday, just as he does whenever the Blues are in action, despite the home side being most people’s favourites to win the Championship this season and bounce back into the Premier League at the first attempt. |
