Joe Looking to Play-Offs Tue 01st Nov 2005 14:00 Town go to Derby County on Wednesday night having gone four games without a win (KO 7.45pm).

Joe to Make Changes Mon 17th Oct 2005 14:33 Boss Joe Royle says he will make changes when the Blues take on Coventry at Portman Road on Tuesday night (KO 7.45pm). Kevin Horlock is the only new injury concern after Sunday's defeat at Reading. |
Reading 2-0 Town Sun 16th Oct 2005 17:22 Dismal Town were easily defeated 2-0 by second-placed Reading at the Madejski Stadium. Richard Naylor netted an 18th minute own goal and Kevin Doyle scored the second after the break, while for the Blues Sam Parkin squandered a great chance and Adam Proudlock had a shot blocked when goal-bound. |
Forster on the Bench Fri 30th Sep 2005 00:33 Striker Nicky Forster will be on the bench when the Blues face Crewe at Portman Road on Saturday.

Sito Amongst Derby Debuts Fri 16th Sep 2005 15:44 Town go looking for their first home derby victory over Norwich City in seven years on Sunday (KO midday).

Town 2-2 Southampton Wed 14th Sep 2005 00:52 Bad light halted play for 40 minutes at Portman Road as Town and Southampton got into the Ashes spirit. Once the floodlight problem had been rectified, the teams shared four goals, Richard Naylor and Owen Garvan netting for the Blues. |
Sheffield United 2-0 Town Sat 10th Sep 2005 19:16 Darren Currie missed a penalty and Sito was sent off as two Steve Kabba goals saw league leaders Sheffield United to a 2-0 victory over the Blues.

Naylor Set to Play Sun 28th Aug 2005 16:43 Central defensive linchpin Richard Naylor is expected to be available for Monday's live Sky game at home to Preston North End (Sky Sports One, KO 12.45pm).

Town Waiting on Price Thu 18th Aug 2005 15:31 Town are hopeful keeper Lewis Price will be fit to face Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday after injuring his left knee in last week's 0-0 draw with Leicester City. However, the Blues are definitely without striker Nicky Forster and central defender Jason De Vos. |
