Town boss Paul Lambert insists there’ll be no repeat of Good Friday’s lacklustre performance at Preston when the Blues take on Swansea City at Portman Road this afternoon looking for their first ever league double over the Welshmen.
Town were let down by poor defending and Andy D’Urso’s failure to award a definite penalty as Swansea came from behind to beat the Blues 3-1 at Portman Road. Loanee Andros Townsend put Town in front with his first goal for the Blues but Craig Beattie (2) and Joe Allen condemned Roy Keane’s side to their fifth consecutive league defeat.
Town boss Roy Keane is waiting on the fitness of left-back Darren O’Dea before naming his side for Saturday’s game at Portsmouth. The on-loan Celtic man is rated 50/50 after picking up a knee injury while away with the Republic of Ireland.
