Town boss Kieran McKenna says Monday’s live-on-Sky game against leaders Leicester City at the King Power Stadium is a “great marker” as the Blues look to climb back to second and make up ground on the Foxes.
Second-half goals from Kieran Lee and Dapo Afolayan saw new manager Kieran McKenna to his first defeat as Blues boss as Town were defeated 2-0 at Bolton Wanderers. The Blues were on top for long spells, but without creating many clear-cut chances before Lee rebounded the Trotters’ opener on 74 and sub Afolayan profited from a George Edmundson error with nine minutes left on the clock.
