Town boss Paul Jewell goes into Saturday’s home game against Huddersfield looking for his side to bounce back from the twin disappointments of the 6-0 thrashing at Blackpool and the Capital One Cup exit at Carlisle. The Blues manager is able to call on new signings Guirane N’Daw, Daryl Murphy and Paul Taylor, but looks likely to be without skipper Carlos Edwards, who has a groin injury.
Town boss Paul Jewell has handed new signings Paul Taylor and Daryl Murphy debuts for the Blues from the start against Huddersfield at Portman Road this afternoon, the Irishman’s third for the club, while Guirane N’Daw is on the bench. Jack Ainsley takes over from skipper Carlos Edwards at right-back with the Trinidadian out with a groin injury.
Luke Chambers scored his first Town goal, Michael Chopra netted his second of the season and Scott Loach saved a penalty as the Blues drew 2-2 at home to Huddersfield. The Terriers were in front at the break via Adam Clayton before Town equalised and then went in front. On-loan Canary James Vaughan equalised for the visitors then saw his spotkick stopped by Loach.
Skipper Carlos Edwards is a big doubt ahead of Saturday’s home game against Huddersfield due to the groin injury he suffered at Carlisle on Tuesday. Blues boss Paul Jewell has confirmed that all three new signings will be in the squad.
Celtic’s Daryl Murphy is expected at Portman Road this afternoon to complete another season-long loan switch to the Blues. The deal is not yet done but we understand the clubs are close to finalising the terms of the Irishman’s third loan spell at Portman Road.
