Michael Chopra netted his first goal under Mick McCarthy’s management in the final minute as the Blues came from behind to win 2-1 at Bolton Wanderers. The home side had gone in front through Mark Davies in the first half, but DJ Campbell equalised from the spot after Daryl Murphy had been fouled, then Chopra completed the job at the death.
Manager Mick McCarthy has hinted that he will make one or two changes to his starting XI as the Blues take on fellow strugglers Peterborough United at Portman Road on Saturday (KO 3pm).
Town fell to their second successive hammering on the road as Mick McCarthy’s men were thoroughly outclassed by Leicester City at the King Power Stadium. David Nugent took his record to 11 goals in 11 games against the Blues with two early goals, the first a penalty, with Lloyd Dyer, Anthony Knockaert, Martyn Waghorn and Marko Futacs netting the rest.
Town boss Mick McCarthy has been forced into three changes to his team for today’s game at Blackpool. Tommy Smith is unavailable due to international commitments, Aaron Cresswell is suspended and Paul Anderson is out with a groin injury.
Daryl Murphy headed home an injury time winner as Town came from behind to pick up their first away win of the season at Blackpool. The home side were very much on top before the break and were ahead via Stephen Dobbie. But in the second half, a much-changed Town got on terms and went ahead through subs Frank Nouble and Paul Taylor before late drama when the Seasiders equalised through Steve Davies prior to Murphy’s winner.
