Town boss Roy Keane will have to decide whether to rest a few players for Saturday’s FA Cup trip to League One Southampton with two arguably more important Championship games following on Tuesday and next weekend. Midfielder David Norris, just back from a long-term knee problem, could be one of those left out.
Town came from behind to win for the first time this season as second half goals from Jon Walters, Pablo Couñago and a Liam Fontaine own goal saw the Blues to a 3-1 victory. Earlier Stern John had put the Robins in front, while Alex Bruce was red-carded on the hour for a two-footed lunge.
Kevin Lisbie netted for loan club Colchester as the U’s beat Bristol Rovers 1-0 at the Weston Homes Community Stadium. Pim Balkestein was also in action with his loan club on Saturday.
Central defender Alex Bruce has been named in the Championship Team of the Week for the second successive week for his display during Town s 1-1 draw with Sheffield United on Saturday. Former Blue Kelvin Davis is also named.
