Town U18s recovered from being two goals down to beat Rushden and Diamonds 4-2 in a pre-season friendly at Playford Road on Wednesday afternoon. Goals from Tony Boto, a Charlie Sheringham penalty, Jordan Rhodes and Stuart Ainsley gave the Blues their victory.
Town are set to make a move for Cardiff striker or winger Ross McCormack having given up their pursuit of Michael Chopra, according to reports in Wales this morning. The Blues are said to be offering former England U21 international frontman Jon Stead in exchange for the 23-year-old.
Town came from behind to defeat Real Valladolid 3-1 at Portman Road. Javier Baraja put the visitors in front from the spot, but Pim Balkestein, Connor Wickham and a Luis Prieto own goal took the Blues to their win in the second half.
Former Blues boss George Burley says he hopes to complete the deal to take Owen Garvan to Crystal Palace in the next couple of days. The Irish U21 international was in talks with the Eagles over the last few days after the clubs agreed a £225,000 fee.
