Boss Mick McCarthy wants to see more of the same from the Blues when they take on Derby County at Pride Park this evening. Although Town have picked up just a single point on their travels this season, the Blues manager says they couldn’t have played any better.
Mick McCarthy says it s important to end Town s recent habit of conceding the first goal against Brighton this afternoon. The Blues lost 2-0 at Wigan last week and prior to that came from a goal behind to beat Middlesbrough at Yeovil at Portman Road.
Town fell to their second home defeat in a week as Charlton defeated the Blues 2-1 at Portman Road. Addicks skipper Johnnie Jackson and ex-Town loanee Ricardo Fuller netted shortly after the break with a deflected Jason Scotland strike the Blues’ only reply.
Town missed a hatful of chances as Wolves left Portman Road with a 2-0 victory. A second-half own goal by Tommy Smith then a long distance strike from sub Tongo Doumbia were enough to take the points with the Blues profligate in front of goal throughout.
