Town boss Paul Jewell felt his side were the better team in the first half at QPR but failed to test home keeper Paddy Kenny enough and gave away poor second half goals. Goals from Clint Hill and Heidar Helguson saw the league leaders to a 2-0 win at Loftus Road
Loan midfielder Kieron Dyer could return to action when the Blues travel to Burnley on Saturday having missed the 2-0 home victory over Scunthorpe with a minor thigh injury. The former England man is on a month’s loan from West Ham.
Jason Scotland and goal-a-game midfielder Keith Andrews scored the goals as the Blues came from behind to beat 10-man Leeds United 2-1 at Portman Road. The visitors dominated the first half and went in front via Ross McCormack, but after the break Leeds had Aidan White sent off for pulling down Jay Emmanuel-Thomas and Scotland and then Andrews’s deflected last-minute strike saw Town to the points.
