Boss Mick McCarthy says he’s been delighted with keeper Bartosz Bialkowski’s performances since he came into the side at Blackpool at the start of November.

Town claimed their third successive win on the road as Brett Pitman’s 10th minute goal saw the Blues to a 1-0 victory in their first league game against the MK Dons at Stadium MK. Town ought to have won the game by a greater margin with the Blues failing to take a number of good chances.
Town boss Mick McCarthy believes MK Dons’ boss Karl Robinson’s warning to his players that they’re playing for their futures at the club will have given them additional motivation ahead of today’s game against the Blues.
Town and Coventry face one another for the third time in 10 days on Tuesday, on this occasion in an FA Cup second-round replay at Portman Road, with a winner guaranteed following two 1-1 draws at St Andrew’s.
