Town manager Roy Keane revealed that he is close to signing two players from the same club after last night s 2-1 defeat to Finn Harps in Ireland. The names of the duo aren t yet known but one of them is Irish.
The Blues have missed out on signing Gillingham full-back Nyron Nosworthy, according to reports. The out-of-contract 24-year-old is set to join Premiership new boys Sunderland, snubbing apparent interest from Town and Norwich.
Town boss Joe Royle has virtually a full squad to pick from for the trip to Gillingham on Saturday. Only Pablo Couñago and Chris Makin remain on the injury list, while Chris Bart-Williams will be rested after coming through Wednesday s reserve game.
Watford came from behind to condemn Town to their seventh successive defeat as the Hornets left Portman Road with a 2-1 win. Keith Andrews saw the Blues into a half-time lead but a penalty from Marvin Sordell and a second from Troy Deeney soon after sealed the victory for the visitors.
