Manager Mick McCarthy says he has an idea which of his out-of-contract senior players he wants to keep at the club beyond the end of the season, but is still to talk to any of them regarding new deals.
Blues boss Mick McCarthy says Frank Nouble, Jay Emmanuel-Thomas and Andy Drury did their chances of getting into the team for Saturday’s home game against Leicester no harm at all with their performances in Monday’s U21 match against Colchester. Nouble netted a hat-trick and Drury the other goal, while Emmanuel-Thomas was one of the Blues’ stand-out performers in a 4-3 victory over the U’s.
