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.
Freddie Sears scored twice and Tyrone Mings and Kevin Bru once each as the Blues beat Birmingham 4-2 at Portman Road. Mings headed in his first senior goal in the 24th minute, Sears made it 2-0 four minutes after the break, before David Davis pulled one back on 57. Sears netted his second on 64, Davis grabbed another for the visitors on 79 before Bru sealed it in injury time with his first goal for Town.
Watford came from behind to consign Town to their third defeat of the season, the Hornets running out 2-1 winners at Vicarage Road. Pablo Couñago put the Blues ahead early on but the home side hit back in the second half through John Eustace and John-Joe O Toole.
