Town boss Mick McCarthy says striker Jack Marriott will return to Portman Road when his one-month loan spell at Carlisle is up after Saturday’s game at Mansfield.

McCarthy confirmed that the 20-year-old, an unused sub during last night's 1-0 defeat to Shrewsbury, would be returning to the Blues: “He’s coming back.”

Marriott has made three starts and two sub appearances without scoring for the Cumbrians, who are currently bottom of the Football League and who sacked manager Graham Kavanagh during his time at Brunton Park.

Meanwhile, former Blues winger Reggie Lambe has joined Carlisle’s weekend opponents Mansfield following a trial.

The Bermudian previously spent time on trial with Bradford, following a three-month spell with Swedish side Nykopings BIS and a two-year stint in the MLS with Toronto FC.

battyblue added 14:00 - Sep 17 Better off with us than where he is at.

Sorry added 14:17 - Sep 17 hope I'm wrong, but it's difficult to see much of a future for Jack at Ipswich now he's been sent back after two unsuccessful League 2 loan spells...

Lightningboy added 14:22 - Sep 17 Still only 20..must be difficult being shunted from one place to another. He could do with a season long loan at a decent league 1 or 2 club..maybe somewhere like Peterborough would be good for him,them & us.

Bluetone added 14:28 - Sep 17 @Lightingboy Agree if he is to be loaned out a settled long loan would be the way to go. To my mind Colchester would be even better for him.

Superblue95 added 14:29 - Sep 17 He has been unlucky in the fact that his spell at Carlisle has been ruined by the fact that they are in a bit of a crisis. Bound to have wrecked his confidence which is very bad news for him and us and its looking unlikely he will ever make it with us

BigHibbs added 14:48 - Sep 17 Sorry is right ! Mccarthy knows when a player is good enough. People say he doesn't give young lads a chance but you look at mings, hyam, bishop and henshall ect, and ita clear to see that mick does give chances when good enough. Jack simply hasn't produced the goods. At any level....other than conference. Maybe that's his level. Shame really as would have loved to see him cracking in goals

town93 added 15:00 - Sep 17 How about a loan to Cambridge United? A newly promoted league 2 side at about mid-table currently. Nearby and would give a good indication to ITFC on his progress as it doesn't look like he'll get regular games in league 1, shame really.

BiGDonnie added 15:00 - Sep 17 I'd much rather be bringing Jack on that Sammon. Sammon, LOL.

Mach_foreignBlue added 15:14 - Sep 17 What's next for him? Lowestoft in order to score 2-3 goals? Lack of progress.

WhoisJimmyJuan added 15:15 - Sep 17 Have to agree with peeps on here. MM has a track record of bringing young players through, with a good scouting network behind him. The academy and young freebies such as Henshall are proving MM can spot the good young un's. I too fear for Marriot. But hope he does still come good for us.

BlueandTruesince82 added 15:31 - Sep 17 An mid table l2 club would do. He cant score if they dont create chances so a team capable of winning some games for a season is ideal. Luton?

Cakeman added 16:17 - Sep 17 Not sure if Marriott will cut it or not but we shall never know unless he is gven a meaningful run in the Championship. I don't mean the odd ten minutes here and then either. One things for sure he needs to get back from Carlisle sharpish because that experience must have set him back.

mojo added 16:53 - Sep 17 Got all excited for a brief moment last night when I saw that a Marriott scored in league 2...then I realised he was plying for Stevenage.

battyblue added 16:57 - Sep 17 Totally agree blue and true if he is getting no service how can he do his job he scored goals pre season with us so whats changed he is still the same Jack Marriot.

Wickets added 17:39 - Sep 17 Some are a bit quick to judge on here! last season he was the next Michael Owen now he's got no future!!

blueboy1981 added 18:17 - Sep 17 Very much in favour of players going out on loan if they go to a Club which will benefit them - Carlisle for Jack Marriott ??? - I couldn't see that as being beneficial at all. Welcome back Jack.

blueboy1981 added 18:22 - Sep 17 ....... now give him some game time - otherwise I can see another Jordan Rhodes scenario in the making here.

masetheace added 19:10 - Sep 17 For those who say give him some game time , who do you suggest drops out of the starting eleven.?

Guthrum added 19:17 - Sep 17 All very well to say we should loan Marriott to this club or that club, but we can only send him out to somewhere that is actually wanting a striker of his type and is willing to pay whatever portion of his wages ITFC requires. If there's no vacancy, they aren't going to want him. Lower division teams aren't necessarily going to take him just because his parent club is higher up the Football League pyramid. In other words, we may not have a choice as to where to send him!

blueboy1981 added 19:27 - Sep 17 ....... masetheace - well, considering we never managed a shot on target until the 64th minute against Brighton, I would consider we still have room for improvement. Certain players could be given 'game time' without damaging the kind of effectiveness mentioned above !!! Having said that, before the kids and less knowledgable of the game, kick me to bits - we WON the game against Brighton, all credit where due for an important win - but it doesn't mean that the cracks are all concealed, and we are the finished article.
