Leon Best’s goal a minute before half-time saw Rotherham United to a 1-0 victory over the Blues at Portman Road. The former Irish international scraped home from close range from a Matt Derbyshire cross, the Millers having caught Town on the break after they had lost possession from a freekick in the visitors’ half.
Town face manager Mick McCarthy’s old club Wolves at Portman Road on Tuesday evening looking to add to their six-game unbeaten run but also aiming to record what would be only their second win in 11 matches in all competitions.
Blues boss Mick McCarthy says striker Brett Pitman’s recent lack of game-time is simply a matter of him having preferred the other options at his disposal to last season’s 11-goal top scorer, who last appeared when he started the 3-0 home defeat to Derby on January 31st, his 29th birthday.
