Town boss Mick McCarthy says midfielder Cole Skuse is one of the best signings he has ever made, free or otherwise. The 29-year-old faces his former club Bristol City for the first time at Portman Road this afternoon having joined the Blues after leaving his hometown club following their relegation in the summer of 2013.
Town have confirmed the signing of striker Leon Best on a one-year deal with an option for a further season. Yesterday, TWTD revealed that the 29-year-old was in talks with the Blues regarding a deal having caught manager Mick McCarthy s eye while on trial.
Town boss Mick McCarthy says he expects League One Doncaster Rovers to raise their game when the Blues visit the Keepmoat Stadium in the second round of the Capital One Cup this evening (KO 7.45pm).
Former loanee Richard Chaplow says his time with the Blues at the end of last season gave him back his hunger for the game after his disappointing spell with Millwall. Chaplow, 30, is set to face Town this evening when they take on his new club Doncaster Rovers in the Capital One Cup second round at the Keepmoat Stadium.
Extra-time goals from David McGoldrick, debutant sub James Alabi and Ryan Fraser saw the Blues to a 4-1 victory at Doncaster and into the third round of the Capital One Cup for the first time in five years. In normal time Andy Williams had put the home side in front in the 23rd minute with Brett Pitman equalising for the Blues on 58.
