Cook Era Gets Under Way at Gillingham
Friday, 5th Mar 2021 12:24
The Paul Cook era gets under way when the Blues travel to face Gillingham at the Priestfield Stadium at lunchtime on Saturday (KO 1pm).
New Blues boss Cook began work with his squad on Thursday, the players having been given Wednesday off after arriving back in Suffolk in the early hours following Tuesday’s 2-1 win at Accrington, a third victory on the trot which saw Town up to seventh in the League One table.
A win against the Gills will see the Blues up to fifth at least temporarily with Doncaster and Portsmouth ahead of them in action later on the day, at home to Rochdale and at Northampton respectively.

Blues youngster Liam Gibbs and his brothers Ryan and Jordan are taking part in the Three Peaks Challenge in June to raise money for the charity Head for Change.
Gibbs, 18, made his first team debut for the Blues in the home game against Charlton in November having come through the academy. Town recently offered the Bury St Edmunds-based midfielder a new contract with his current terms up in the summer.
The brothers will attempt to climb the highest mountains in England, Scotland and Wales, Scafell Pike, Ben Nevis and Snowdon, within 24 hours on Friday 18th June.
O Neill: Brexit Will Increase Bigger Clubs Interest in Our Youngsters
Thursday, 11th Feb 2021 11:08
General manager of football operations Lee O’Neill believes it’s a feather in the academy’s cap that Premier League clubs are eyeing youngsters such as Elkan Baggott and Liam Gibbs and says that the impact of Brexit will see clubs from the top two divisions increasing their interest in young players in the lower leagues.
Centre-half Baggott, 18, recently signed his first professional contract, which runs to the summer of 2023 with the Blues having an option for a further season, having made his first and so far still only appearance for the senior side in the Papa John’s Trophy tie against Gillingham, and also travelled with the first team to Plymouth and was on the bench for the recent home game against Sunderland.
