TWTD understands that Leeds striker or winger Noel Hunt is expected at Town on Thursday morning to complete the formalities on a loan deal through to January, the clubs having agreed terms. The switch is with a view to a permanent move.

Tommy Smith smashed home his second goal of the season from close range seven minutes from time as Town beat bogey side Watford 1-0 at Portman Road to climb to fourth in the Championship.
