Disappointing Town fell to a 3-0 defeat at Burnley s Turf Moor. The Blues had started brightly but rarely looked like getting back into the game after James O Connor s 33rd minute opener, Garreth O Connor and Chris McCann adding to the Clarets lead in the second half.
Much-changed Town fell to a 2-1 defeat at Watford despite an improved display. Nicky Forster sandwiched his fifth goal of the season between two from Hornets striker Darius Henderson, with the Blues denied what looked a certain penalty when Alan Lee was fouled by Malky Mackay.
