McCarthy: Wonderful Strike Changed Dynamic
Tuesday, 14th Apr 2015 23:12
Boss Mick McCarthy felt Cole Skuse’s “wonderful strike”, his first ever goal for the Blues, changed the dynamic of Town’s 3-1 home victory over Cardiff City.
“I think Skusey over the last two or three months has taken his performance to a different level, I think he’s been outstanding,” the Town manager said of the 28-year-old, who created Daryl Murphy’s late goal.
“Ever since he walked in the door he’s been absolutely inked in on that teamsheet, he’s been a star.
“Much maligned sometimes, probably because he doesn’t score and doesn’t hit those threaded passes. Well, he’s done both tonight. What a great time to start doing it.

Nsiala: Summed-Up Our Season
Monday, 1st Apr 2019 06:00
Central defender Toto Nsiala felt Saturday’s 2-0 home defeat to Hull City summed-up the Blues’ miserable season.
Town dominated possession - 62 per cent to 38 - and had more shots on target than the Tigers but it was the visitors who ended the game ahead on the only statistic that ultimately matters, extending the Blues winless run to 12 games.
They remain 13 points plus goal difference from safety with only seven games left.
“The game summed-up our season,” Nsiala admitted. “They had three shots on target, we had six. Two of theirs went in and three of ours were blocked on the line.
McCarthy: We Were The Better Team

Manager Mick McCarthy thought the Blues were the better side but bemoaned his team’s failure to put the ball in the net after their 0-0 draw at Peterborough. The Town boss had praise for Posh keeper Bobby Olejnik, who made important saves from Frank Nouble and David McGoldrick in either half, but believed his side ought to have been awarded a penalty for handball against Posh midfielder Jack Payne after the break.
McCarthy said: “I think we were the better team. If there was one performance which deserved to win I think it was ours, but you don’t get it on what you deserve, you’ve got to put the ball in the net.
Spence and Hyam Start at Wednesday
Tuesday, 6th Mar 2018 19:01
Town boss Mick McCarthy makes two changes to his side for this evening’s game at Sheffield Wednesday with Jordan Spence and Luke Hyam both returning to the line-up.
Spence takes over from Dominic Iorfa, who drops to the bench, at right wing-back with Hyam forming a central midfield trio with Cole Skuse, who is playing his 200th game for the Blues, and Callum Connolly.
Mustapha Carayol seems set to play behind Martyn Waghorn with Joe Garner, who has been nursing a number of knocks, on the bench.
Wednesday make six changes from the team which lost 4-0 at Bristol City on Saturday with David Jones, former Blue Jordan Rhodes, Jacob Butterfield, Glenn Loovens, Tom Lees, who is making his 150th appearance for the Owls, and George Boyd replacing Daniel Pudil, Frederico Venancio, Joey Pelupessy and Lucas Joao, who are on the bench, and Sean Clare and Jack Stobbs, who are left out of the 18.
