Town s good run of form on the road came to an end as an impressive Swansea comfortably won 3-0 at the Liberty Stadium. Jason Scotland scored twice before a brilliant Jordi Gomez freekick with Alan Quinn coming closest for the Blues.
Town boss Roy Keane will have to decide whether to rest a few players for Saturday’s FA Cup trip to League One Southampton with two arguably more important Championship games following on Tuesday and next weekend. Midfielder David Norris, just back from a long-term knee problem, could be one of those left out.
Former Town striker Jon Stead says he won’t celebrate if he scores a debut goal for his new side Bristol City against the Blues on Saturday. Stead left Portman Road for Ashton Gate for a fee of £225,000 earlier in the week, signing a three-year deal.
