Mick McCarthy says Northern Ireland international midfielder Josh Carson needs to go out on loan to play some games. The 19-year-old hasn’t featured since the 3-0 Sheffield Wednesday defeat in late October, the match prior to McCarthy taking over as boss.
Town have no new injuries ahead of today’s game against Mick McCarthy’s hometown club Barnsley at Portman Road, which is on after a pitch and stadium inspection this morning. The Blues boss seems likely to field an unchanged team against the Tykes.
