Boss Paul Lambert has poured cold water on claims he is set to make a double swoop for Middlesbrough pair Grant Leadbitter, a former Town skipper, and striker Rudy Gestede as the Blues close in on the loan signing of Will Keane from Hull City, who is at the club this afternoon.

Jordan Hugill netted a contentious 37th-minute penalty and sub Marcus Tavernier added a second on 72 as Middlesbrough beat Town 2-0 at the Riverside Stadium. The Blues had the better of the few first-half chances but found themselves behind from the spot after Jordan Spence was adjudged to have fouled Hugill, with Tavernier’s goal sealing the three points in the second half.

Boss Paul Lambert was pleased with his team’s overall performance during heir 2-0 defeat at Middlesbrough but feels they lack a clinical cutting edge.

Jordan Hugill’s 37th minute penalty has given Middlesbrough a 1-0 half-time lead over the Blues at the Riverside Stadium.

Blues boss Paul Lambert says some of the names Town have been linked with as he looks to strengthen his squad in January are “bizarre”, while he feels that in some cases the sums being asked for regarding loan players are “ludicrous”.

The Persian Gulf Pro League Iranian football giants Esteghlal and Persepolis have played out a blank draw at an empty Azadi stadium.

Luke Hyam, Carlos Edwards and Frank Nouble were on target as Town beat Blackburn Rovers 3-1 at Portman Road. Hyam netted in the fourth minute but Jordan Rhodes equalised on the half hour, however, Edwards scored three minutes after the break and Nouble added the third four minutes from the end.

Town boss Mick McCarthy is taking the traditional one game at a time approach as Blackburn visit Portman Road tonight in the first of two back to back home games, with Huddersfield following them to Suffolk on Saturday.
