Boss Paul Hurst says the achilles injury which has curtailed Jon Walter s loan spell with Town wasn t something which could have been foreseen. The 35-year-old limped off shortly after coming on as a sub in the 0-0 draw with Bolton last weekend and was subsequently ruled out for six months.
Boss Mick McCarthy conceded that Leeds United had deserved their 1-0 victory over Town and admitted his team put in a “poor performance” at Elland Road.
Former Blues loanee Chris Wood’s 35th minute header saw Leeds United to a 1-0 victory over Town at Elland Road. The Whites might have won by a more comfortably margin having come close on a number of further occasions, while the Blues never looked like getting anything from the game once they had gone behind.
Town boss Mick McCarthy says Brett Pitman is relishing being the Blues’ number one striker but would welcome the Channel Islander having more competition for his place in the side.
