Blues boss Paul Jewell goes into Saturday’s game against Championship leaders Blackpool looking for his side to continue their positive start to the season. Although delighted with his team’s performance in Tuesday’s 1-0 victory at Watford, he wants them to give opposition keepers busier games.
Town boss Paul Jewell says bringing players with the right character into the club is important as he looks to build on the Blues’ promising beginning to the season. That start has been based on a close-knit team spirit which has developed at the club in recent months.
Town have confirmed the season-long loan signing of St Etienne midfielder Guirane N’Daw, subject to international clearance. As reported last night, the 28-year-old passed a medical and agreed personal terms yesterday, the clubs having negotiated the terms of the loan earlier in the week.
Boss Mick McCarthy says both he and owner Marcus Evans have realistic expectations for the season ahead. The Town manager has said he’s aiming for a play-off place having achieved that level of form last season having taken over in November.
