Town slipped to their second home defeat on the spin yesterday when Birmingham left Portman Road victorious following a 1-0 win.

A James McFadden penalty in the first half was enough to secure the win for the Bluenoses, but other then that neither side created many chances, although Town did somehow manage 8 shoots on target compared to Birmingham's 4.

The only news from yesterday was Ivan Campo's return to the starting side at the center of defense alongside Gareth McAuley. Danny Hayne's starting but only lasting 30 minutes before injuring his ankle.
