Manager Mick McCarthy says he wishes former Blue Lee Martin well for his future despite feeling that it was better for the 26-year-old to move on during the summer. Martin left Portman Road after four years at the end of last season, subsequently joining today’s opponents Millwall on a one-year deal.
Midfielder Jay Tabb and left-back Aaron Cresswell are both fit enough to line-up for the Blues in Saturday’s first home game of the season against Millwall. Tabb hurt his shoulder at Stevenage on Tuesday, while Cresswell has missed Town s two games so far due to a thigh injury.
Full debutant Noel Hunt scored twice and sub Jonny Parr once as Town beat Millwall 3-1 at the Den to climb back to second in the Championship. Hunt put the Blues two in front before Magaye Guyeye pulled a goal back for the Lions just before the break but Parr sealed it in the 77th minute.
