Town boss Mick McCarthy says he sees the back-to-back home games against Reading on Saturday and Birmingham on Tuesday as an opportunity to push back towards the top two but won’t be taking either opposition side lightly.
Boss Mick McCarthy hopes Town won’t miss midfielder Luke Hyam during his time out of the side due to the gashed leg he suffered at Millwall last week. The 22-year-old misses Saturday’s home game against Reading and is likely to be sidelined for around three weeks.
