A strong Town U21 side fell to a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Crystal Palace at Playford Road this afternoon, Jake Gray netting the game’s only goal when he got in ahead of Bartosz Bialkowski to nod home 10 minutes from time.
Blues boss Mick McCarthy is backing Jonathan Douglas to add goals to his midfield. Town are without a goal in their last three games and have netted only eight times in their first 10 league matches, four of them in their opening day win against Barnsley.
