Town and Bristol City played out their second 0-0 draw of the season at Portman Road with the Blues unlucky not to take all three points. Jack Colback hit the post in the second half, then in the final minute the Blues thought that Robins keeper Dean Gerken, the man of the match by some distance, had punched Connor Wickham’s long throw into his own net only for referee Nigel Miller to decide the former Colchester man hadn’t got a touch.
Town’s dismal season got even worse as Peterborough deservedly came from behind to beat the Blues 3-1 at London Road. Daryl Murphy’s third goal in three games put Town in front with the Blues comfortable before the break but having missed chances, however, in the second half the Posh hit back with goals from Liam Dickinson, Lee Frecklington and Craig Morgan.
Goals from Velice Sumulikoski and Jon Walters took the Blues to a comfortable 2-1 victory over Blackpool at Portman Road. Town were rarely threatened by the visitors until a bizarre Paul Dickov goal in the closing minutes.
Town s dismal run of home form continued with a lacklustre 1-1 draw against Blackpool. Alex Baptiste put the visitors in front in the 28th minute but Tommy Miller hit back for the Blues six minutes later.
