Josh Carson’s first two senior goals saw the Blues to a 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace at Portman Road. The 17-year-old netted in each half before Paddy McCarthy pulled one back for the Eagles.
Boss Mick McCarthy believes the international break has come at the right for his squad, the Blues having climbed back into the top six via back-to-back 1-0 victories over Bolton Wanderers and Watford. Town are next in action when new leaders Bournemouth visit Portman Road on Good Friday with seven Championship games remaining.
