Town 1-5 Wimbledon Sat 26th Apr 2003 18:58 Town's last home game of the season ended with a dismal second half collapse and a 5-1 Wimbledon win. The Blues were one-down at half-time and, with a number of players looking either jaded or disinterested, a five minute spell late in the second period saw Wimbledon, already 2-1 up, rack up three more goals. |
Miller Out, Collins In Fri 25th Apr 2003 14:36 Town midfielder Tommy Miller has failed to recover sufficiently from his calf injury and is out of Saturday's squad for the visit of Wimbledon. Central defender Aidan Collins has been added to the squad and if he comes on he will be one of Town's youngest ever players. |
Squad for Wimbledon Thu 24th Apr 2003 16:59 Tommy Miller is Joe Royle's biggest injury worry ahead of Saturday's home game with Wimbledon. The midfielder has a sore calf after Monday's game against Rotherham and will be tested on Friday before a decision is made on his fitness. Better news is that Darren Bent will be available again after missing out recently due to a hamstring injury. |
Sheepy on Admin Sanctions Wed 23rd Apr 2003 10:28 Town chairman David Sheepshanks has said he is against across the board sanctions for clubs in administration. The Football League board meets tomorrow at Leicester City to discuss points deductions for sides who end up in administration. |
Rotherham 2-1 Town Mon 21st Apr 2003 18:04 Town's play-off aspirations were dealt a massive blow as they were defeated 2-1 at Rotherham. The Blues will point to two crucial refereeing decisions which saw Brian Curson deny a strong Town call for a penalty and fail to send off Millers' defender Shaun Barker for a professional foul on Martijn Reuser, Barker subsequently playing a role in both goals. |
No Weak Links - Joe Fri 18th Apr 2003 21:17 Town manager Joe Royle was understandably pleased with his side after their magnificent 3-0 defeat of Portsmouth. The Blues' boss singled out Tommy Miller as the player of the match but felt there were no underperformers in his team. |
Town 3-0 Portsmouth Fri 18th Apr 2003 21:05 Town's play-off hopes were given a massive boost as they convincingly beat Portsmouth 3-0 at Portman Road. Three goals within the first 30 minutes gave the Blues a cushion which they held on to during a second half where they rarely looked under threat. |
Naylor Misses Out Thu 17th Apr 2003 14:15 Town will be without Richard Naylor when they face promoted Portsmouth on Friday evening at Portman Road (KO 5.15pm). Naylor was substituted at half-time during the Blues' 4-2 away win at Coventry City last Saturday and has not recovered sufficiently to take his place in the Town defence. |
Reserves Draw Tue 15th Apr 2003 21:54 Town's second string were denied a victory over West Ham by a last gasp goal from Hammers' defender Elliot Ward. The Blues looked to have the points sewn up after a Dean Bowditch wonder goal just after half-time. |
Coventry 2-4 Town Sat 12th Apr 2003 18:18 Town once again had to come from behind to claim three important points as they beat Coventry 4-2 at Highfield Road. A poor first half saw the Blues two goals behind before Pablo Couñago (2) and Marcus Bent (2) scored the goals which keep Town in the play-off hunt. |
