Rhodes Hoping for Pre-Season Return Thursday, 7th May 2009 08:46
Striker Jordan Rhodes says he will be fit for pre-season training having been sidelined for the final weeks of 2008/09 with a broken metatarsal. The injury meant that the Rhodes missed out on closing weeks of loan club Brentford s League Two championship-winning campaign.
The 19-year-old says he is confident he will be OK to get back into action when the Town squad return to Playford Road after their summer break: I m on the mend. I should start walking in a few days, then hopefully be fit for pre-season.
The striker, named the PFA Fans League Two Player of the Season, says the Blues new manager has emphasised that hard work will be the key to winning a place in his side: Roy Keane has told us if we work hard in training then he ll give us the rewards we deserve.â€

McCarthy Chasing Vital Three Points
Tuesday, 16th Apr 2013 06:00
The Blues go into tonight’s home game against Crystal Palace looking for the three points which manager Mick McCarthy expects will be enough to guarantee Championship football during 2013/14. Town currently sit in 17th place on 53 points, four from the drop zone with four matches left to play.
McCarthy believes another win ought to be enough to ensure safety, but given the division’s notorious unpredictability, he’s not entirely certain: “I think with 56 points we’ll stay up but that’s only me thinking, that’s only me assuming and as we all know, assumption is the mother of all cock-ups! But I do think that’s what will happen, and I’ll take it now.”
