Brentford’s U21s came from behind to beat their Blues counterparts 3-1 at Playford Road this afternoon, Sam Ford (pictured) having put Town in front early on.
Alex Henshall, James Alabi and Adam McDonnell are amongst those set to feature in this afternoon’s U21s match against Brentford at Playford Road (KO 1pm).
Stephen Hunt has insisted there is still a positive vibe at Town despite the fact that Mick McCarthy’s team take on rock-bottom Blackpool this weekend seeking their first win in six games.
Boss Mick McCarthy is delighted with 18-year-old Teddy Bishop’s impact since he came into the side at Derby, but won’t overplay the midfielder during his first season in the senior side.
Second half goals from Jonny Parr and Daryl Murphy saw Town to a 2-0 victory over Brighton at Portman Road. Parr stabbed home a rebound in the 79th minute and Murphy sealed the win two minutes from time.
