Academy right-back Dylan Crowe could win his ninth England U17s cap when the Young Lions take on Switzerland in their final European Championships group game at Rotherham United’s New York Stadium this evening (ITV4 6.45pm).
Gwion Edwards fired the Blues into a second-half lead but Town continue to wait for an East Anglian derby victory over Norwich City after Moritz Leitner hit an equaliser for the Canaries as the game ended 1-1 at Portman Road. Edwards gave the Blues, who are without a derby success in nine years and still without a win this season, the lead with a deflected shot from the edge of the box on 57 but Leitner levelled with a low shot for the visitors 14 minutes later.
Former Blues defender and current Colchester United boss John McGreal is reportedly interesting Town as the club look around for a successor to Mick McCarthy.

The Millers will face Town management contender Paul Hurst’s Shrewsbury at Wembley on Sunday 27th May.
Emmanuel has spent the season with Rotherham, making 36 starts and one sub appearances without scoring.
