Blues manager Mick McCarthy says new midfield loan signing Richard Chaplow’s ability was never in question, despite the 30-year-old having been out of favour at struggling Millwall. The Town boss says it’s important to look beyond a player’s situation with their current club and that he has benefited from doing so throughout his career as a boss.
A goal in either half from Bradley Johnson and Lewis Grabban gave Norwich City a 2-0 victory over Town in the East Anglian derby at Carrow Road. Johnson opened the scoring on 24 with a strike off the underside of the bar with Grabban adding the second in the 62nd minute.
