Reserves Side for Chelsea Wed 26th Nov 2003 11:09 Town have announced the reserves side facing Chelsea at Portman Road this evening. As expected Alan Mahon starts and will be looking to impress head of Saturday's trip to former loan club Cardiff City. |
Kuqi Signing Imminent? Wed 26th Nov 2003 10:01 Loanee striker Shefki Kuqi could sign for Town permanently in the next few days after discussions opened with Sheffield Wednesday. As TWTD reported earlier in the week, the Finn could join on a free transfer, but with cash payable if the Blues are promoted in May. |
Reserves Squad Tue 25th Nov 2003 20:17 Alan Mahon, Tommy Miller, John McGreal and Alun Armstrong are the senior players involved in Wednesday's reserve game at home to Chelsea (7pm). |
Town 3-0 Sheffield United Sat 22nd Nov 2003 19:02 Town overcame fellow promotion hopefuls Sheffield United 3-0 in a scrappy affair played in torrential conditions at Portman Road. Shefki Kuqi, on loan from Sheffield Wednesday, scored the first from a spotkick with Ian Westlake and Darren Bent netting in the second half. |
Derby 2-2 Town Sat 08th Nov 2003 18:29 Town fought back from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Derby County at Pride Park. Goals from Peter Kennedy and Daniele Dichio inside a minute just before the break put the home side ahead. A penalty from Tommy Miller and a header from Darren Bent won the Blues the point. |
McGreal in Squad Fri 07th Nov 2003 09:40 Central defender John McGreal is included in Joe Royle's 16-man party for Saturday's trip to Derby County. The 31-year-old looks set to make his first appearance of the season in place of the suspended Richard Naylor. |
Royle Waiting on McGreal Thu 06th Nov 2003 14:17 Town boss Joe Royle will wait before deciding whether central defender John McGreal is fit enough to replace the suspended Richard Naylor at Derby on Saturday. McGreal, yet to feature this season, played the full 90 minutes for the reserves last night but didn't train today as a precaution. |
Big Test for McGreal Wed 05th Nov 2003 10:23 Town manager Joe Royle will have his fingers crossed that defender John McGreal comes through tonight's reserve game at home to Nottingham Forest unscathed (KO 7pm). If he is successful McGreal looks certain to go into the senior side for Saturday's visit to Derby. |
Town 3-4 Gillingham Sat 01st Nov 2003 19:06 A disappointing defensive performance from Town condemned them to their second home defeat of the season, Gillingham running out 4-3 winners.

Town Unchanged for Gills Thu 30th Oct 2003 15:14 Town boss Joe Royle will once again field an unchanged side when Gillingham visit Portman Road on Saturday. Royle will be looking for his side to take October's good form into November. |
