Ipswich Town manager Mick McCarthy spoke to the press today ahead of Saturday’s Championship game at QPR.

During the conference, the Blues boss gave the latest on the Blues’ injuries, what happened on transfer deadline day and more about new signing Callum Connolly.

Ipswich won their opening four league games for the first time since 1974, but were comprehensively beaten 2-0 by Fulham at Portman Road prior to last weekend’s international break.

Ian Holloway’s QPR have recorded home wins against Reading and Hull, drawn at Sheffield Wednesday and lost Norwich and Cardiff in the league.
