Tom Lawrence scored twice to take his tally for the season to 10 - and eight in his last eight games - as Town drew 2-2 at home to Reading. The Blues will feel they deserved to claim the three points against an under par Royals side who levelled twice through Jordon Mutch and then Jordan Obita.
Town boss Mick McCarthy was delighted with his side’s “great” performance during Wednesday’ night’s 2-2 draw but was frustrated by their “naivety” as they conceded Sheffield Wednesday’s injury-time equaliser and seething that Glenn Loovens wasn’t red-carded for the fourth-minute challenge on David McGoldrick, which has left the Blues striker needing surgery tomorrow.
New manager Paul Lambert met Town fans for the first time at the annual Meet the Club event which preceded the Supporters Club’s AGM in the Sir Bobby Robson Suite this evening. The 49-year-old, who was joined by assistant manager Stuart Taylor, first-team coach Matt Gill and fitness coach Jim Henry, took questions from the floor for just over half an hour before members of the club s off-field staff were also quizzed.
Doncaster Rovers came from a goal down to beat the Blues 4-1 and comprehensively end their unbeaten start to 2020/21 and drop them to second in the League One table. A Joe Wright own goal gave Town the lead on the quarter hour but goals from Cameron John and skipper Ben Whiteman on 28 and 37 gave the home side a 2-1 half-time lead before Whiteman netted the third from the spot in the 62nd minute and Fejiri Okenabirhie made it four two minutes later.
