Boss Mick McCarthy felt his side deserved to beat Millwall after a tough battle to record their first three points of the season in their first home game of the season.
Town go into this afternoon’s Sir Bobby Robson Day fixture against Newcastle United still looking to record back-to-back victories for the first time this season. The Blues got their Easter games off to a winning start and all but sealed their Championship status by defeating Burton Albion 2-1 at the Pirelli Stadium on Friday.
Goals from Freddie Sears, David McGoldrick and Emyr Huws saw the Blues to a famous 3-1 home victory over promotion-chasing Newcastle United. Sears put Town in front in the 42nd minute, former Blues striker Daryl Murphy netted an equaliser for the visitors in the 62nd minute, but McGoldrick made it 2-1 seven minutes later and Huws sealed the three points - and Town s first back-to-back wins of the season - in injury time.
Town’s decision to label today’s league clash with Newcastle as Sir Bobby Robson Day – the legendary manager served both clubs with distinction – meets with the approval of Steven Taylor.
