Town boss Mick McCarthy says he expects midfielder Jay Tabb to move on at the end of the season, the 32-year-old having made only four starts - all in cup competitions - during 2015/16.
Luke Hyam has revealed he came close to departing Town on loan in the January transfer window before deciding to stay put and continue his quest to earn a new contract.
Second half goals from Clint Hill and Heidar Helguson consigned Town to the second league defeat of Paul Jewell’s reign against table-topping QPR at Loftus Road. The Blues had been the better side in the first half but after the break Neil Warnock’s side upped a gear and struck twice in the last quarter of an hour.
Paul Jewell is expected to recall loanee Jimmy Bullard for the trip to league leaders QPR but the Blues boss says picking his midfield for this evening s game was the toughest call of his time at Portman Road (KO 8pm). The midfielder missed Saturday’s 1-1 draw with his parent club Hull City as he was unavailable under the terms of his loan.
