Town manager Mick McCarthy is weighing up whether to make changes to his side for this evening’s home game against Birmingham with tough matches coming thick and fast over the next couple of weeks.
Town boss Mick McCarthy admits there’s greater pressure on him ahead of Saturday’s game against Birmingham at St Andrew’s after he switched all his starting XI for Tuesday’s 2-1 FA Cup third round replay defeat at Portsmouth.

Lewis Montrose - Found the net with a key goal at Gateshead. Image: Paul France/Write Angle Media RUSS Penn said he was “so proud” of his players after they picked up an excellent 1-0 National League North win at Gateshead. Skipper Lewis Montrose scored the only goal of the game to settle a tight affair with just seven minutes to go, after defences had largely come out on top despite both sides playing some good football.
