Midfielder Josh Carson was an unused sub as Northern Ireland lost 3-0 to Norway in a friendly in Belfast this evening. The 18-year-old remains on two full caps.
Blues boss Paul Jewell says he’s not sure whether he’ll make a renewed move for his three January Portsmouth targets, Jason Pearce, Joel Ward and Stephen Henderson, but seems unlikely to do so in the short-term. Yesterday, Pompey’s financial situation forced them to loan Norwegian international winger Erik Huseklepp to Birmingham.
Keith Andrews’s fifth goal for the Blues saw Paul Jewell’s men to a fortunate 1-0 home victory over Portsmouth. Town were a pale shadow of their usual selves for much of the game and Pompey missed a number of good chances before the Irishman netted the winner from close range in the 69th minute.
