Centre-half Damien Delaney says he’s not sure whether former boss Roy Keane would have watched Town’s Carling Cup semi-final first leg victory over Arsenal at home on TV. The 29-year-old says he was sad to see the former manager move on last week.
Tamás Priskin’s second half goal saw the Blues to a famous 1-0 Carling Cup semi-final first leg victory over a strong Arsenal side at Portman Road. Priskin curled home from the edge of the area after being sent away by Colin Healy with Town fully deserving their victory over Arsene Wenger’s lacklustre team.
Caretaker-manager Ian McParland says Town’s players have to believe that an upset is possible when Arsenal visit Portman Road for evening’s Carling Cup semi-final first leg (Sky Sports One, 7.30pm). The Scot is in charge of the Blues for the final time with new boss Paul Jewell watching from the stands before formally taking over on Thursday.
Caretaker-manager Ian McParland has paid tribute to Macclesfield Town midfielder Richard Butcher, who died on Sunday. The 29-year-old, who passed away in his sleep, was in McParland’s side during his time as Notts County manager.
Caretaker-manager Ian McParland says he has spoken to new boss Paul Jewell but is yet to discover whether he has a future at Town. The 49-year-old expects to leave Portman Road when Jewell formally takes over on Thursday and hopes to get a management job of his own.
