Town boss Paul Jewell says there will definitely be further additions to his squad before the season gets under way on Saturday 6th August at Bristol City. The Blues manager has already brought in strikers Michael Chopra and Nathan Ellington and defender Ivar Ingimarsson this summer.

Jewell says he is confident that more signings will follow: "I want to let the supporters know that we have a lot of business to do yet.

"I've probably been off the phone about 10 minutes since last season ended. I've been here, there and everywhere talking to players and agents, but I'm experienced enough to know that getting players in always takes time.

"The fans probably want to see us signing five, six, seven players, and we are looking at doing that, but as I said, we have to be patient.

"There will definitely be more players at this football club for August 6th. No question about that. Ideally I'd like to have everyone on board by the time we return to pre-season training at the start of July, but in reality that never happens.

"There is a lot of work going on behind the scenes and I'm confident we can get in the players we need to give this club a better chance of reaching the Premier League.

"We could sign 10 players tomorrow, but it's getting the right players that counts. It's quality not quantity."

Meanwhile, Town have confirmed that the home first round Carling Cup tie against Northampton will be played on Tuesday 9th August with a 7.45pm kick-off as expected.
