Another last day of the season decider and again other sides failed to do Town a favour. As with Wolves and Blackburn on the last day of the last two seasons both Charlton and Leicester failed to take points from Liverpool and Leeds. Unlike on those occasions Town failed to fulfil their side of the bargain, only managing a draw with Derby.

Ipswich new boy Ryan Stevenson has spoken of his relief at leaving Hearts and revealed the full extent of the Scottish club’s problem with regular late payment of wages.

Town boss Paul Jewell insisted that he won’t quit after the Blues’ 2-1 home defeat to Charlton, which kept them in 23rd in the Championship after seven games.

Chelsea and Arsenal have joined Crystal Palace in trailing Blues left-back Tyrone Mings, according to one of this morning’s tabloids.
