Tommy Smith’s fifth minute header saw Town to their second successive away win as they left Charlton Athletic with a 1-0 victory. The Blues started strongly and once in front defended resolutely to secure the three points.
Ryan Shotton and Nick Powell scored a goal in either half to consign Town to a 2-0 defeat at Wigan. The result was harsh on the Blues, who hit the bar early on through Luke Chambers and had plenty of other chances.
Boss Mick McCarthy says Town wouldn’t have conceded the late penalty which led to Leyton Orient’s last-gasp equaliser during Saturday’s 1-1 friendly draw had Jay Tabb still been on the field.
Boss Mick McCarthy says he’s not currently considering entering the loan market for a replacement for injured top scorer David McGoldrick. Frank Nouble appears to be the 16-goal frontman’s likely replacement alongside Daryl Murphy at Leicester on Saturday.
David McGoldrick netted in the 20th and 24th minutes to see the Blues to a comfortable 2-0 home victory over Brighton. While the deflected first had an element of good fortune, the second was as good as anything the striker has scored for the Blues.
