Loanee defender Darren O’Dea has been confirmed in the Republic of Ireland squad for their friendly against Norway in Dublin on Wednesday. The Celtic man was named in the preliminary squad but Town were in talks with the FAI regarding his inclusion in the final party.
Roy Keane says he was telling people to “relax and chill out” and was by no means panicking after the Blues’ three successive league defeats. Town got back to winning ways with the 3-1 victory over Northampton in the Carling Cup and Saturday’s 2-0 league win against Millwall.
Boss Roy Keane is waiting on the fitness of Hungarian international keeper Márton Fülöp ahead of Saturday’s trip to his old club Nottingham Forest. Fülöp has a back injury and missed the Watford game in midweek, but Keane says he has no problem if Brian Murphy is again required between the sticks.
Town boss Roy Keane was delighted with Tottenham pair Jake Livermore and Andros Townsend after the Blues’ 2-1 victory over Leeds at Portman Road on Saturday. Livermore made his first start for his loan club and Townsend completed the first full 90 minutes of his spell at Portman Road.
Town boss Roy Keane is hoping his international players come back from their fortnight away unscathed. Keane lost Irish pair Darren O’Dea and Shane O’Connor to problems picked up with their national squads during the last break in domestic fixtures.
