Gavin Williams struck in the 89th minute to give the Blues a deserved 1-0 victory over Birmingham City. The second half sub volleyed home Gary Robertss cross after Town had had the ball repeatedly cleared off the Birmingham line, had a penalty call turned down and had hit the woodwork.

Roy Keane said Town had no one to blame but themselves after their 3-1 home defeat to Swansea. Keane refused to criticise referee Andy D’Urso despite the Billericay-based official turning down what appeared to be a certain Town penalty.

Town were let down by poor defending and Andy D’Urso’s failure to award a definite penalty as Swansea came from behind to beat the Blues 3-1 at Portman Road. Loanee Andros Townsend put Town in front with his first goal for the Blues but Craig Beattie (2) and Joe Allen condemned Roy Keane’s side to their fifth consecutive league defeat.

Town reached the fourth round of the Carling Cup for the first time since 2002/03 after beating Millwall 2-1 at the Den. Tamás Priskin and Gareth McAuley put the Blues 2-0 in front at half-time with Lions’ frontman Steve Morison netting the home side’s only reply early in the second period.

Town went joint top of the table with Coventry City after defeating Crystal Palace 1-0 at Portman Road. The Blues were the more dominant side throughout, but had to wait until the 70th minute for Jon Walters to open the scoring.

Boss Jim Magilton says his side are in with a shout at winning promotion if they defend as they did against Crystal Palace. The Blues kept their first clean sheet of the season as they defeated the Eagles 1-0.

Striker Daryl Murphy has completed his season-long loan move from Celtic. The Blues
