Cameron Humphreys netted just before the break to give the Blues a 1-0 half-time lead over Rotherham United in their FA Cup third round tie at Portman Road.
Town are in the hat for the FA Cup fourth round draw for the first time since 2009/10 following a comprehensive 4-1 victory over Championship Rotherham United at Portman Road. The Blues went in front just before half-time through Cameron Humphreys, but Conor Washington levelled for the Millers two minutes after the restart, however, a Town penalty netted by Conor Chaplin, a goal against his old club from Freddie Ladapo and a third spot-kick of the match from Wes Burns saw Kieran McKenna s team to a comfortable victory.
Town boss Kieran McKenna says Saturday’s sell-out FA Cup third round tie against AFC Wimbledon is a welcome change following the gruelling Christmas Championship fixture programme.
Centre-half Cameron Burgess insists there’s no need to panic despite Town taking only five points from nine over Christmas and dropping to third in League One.
General manager of football operations Lee O’Neill is expecting a quiet January transfer window, but expects one or two of the Blues’ younger players to go out on loan to gain experience. O Neill also says owner Marcus Evans is pleased with the club s position going into the second half of the campaign, despite the recent downturn in form.
