Boss Paul Jewell will be back at the scene of his first game in charge of the Blues on Saturday when his team take on Millwall at the Den. The Town manager says his side has made progress in some areas in the nine months since then, but not enough in others.
Two late goals from substitute Nick Proschwitz saw Hull City come from behind to beat the Blues 2-1 at the KC Stadium. Town had led at half-time through Jay Emmanuel-Thomas but the home side had been the better team throughout.
Keith Andrews’s fifth goal for the Blues saw Paul Jewell’s men to a fortunate 1-0 home victory over Portsmouth. Town were a pale shadow of their usual selves for much of the game and Pompey missed a number of good chances before the Irishman netted the winner from close range in the 69th minute.
Town manager Paul Jewell says Portsmouth’s lack of a permanent manager has had little effect on his preparations for this evening’s game at Portman Road (KO 7.45pm). Pompey boss Steve Cotterill left for Nottingham Forest last week with Guy Whittingham and Stuart Gray currently joint-caretaker managers.
The top-of-the-table Blues visit Fleetwood Town on Saturday afternoon for the first ever fixture between the sides looking to continue their unbeaten start to their League One campaign and aiming for their fifth away win of the season against the division’s third-placed side.
