Town duo Luke Woolfenden and Wes Burns have been named in the Sky Bet Championship Team of the Week for their displays in Saturday's 2-0 home victory over Stoke City, while the Blues centre-half is included in the EFL's overall Team of the Week.

Woolfenden nodded in the opening goal and was a key part of the defence which kept a clean sheet, while Burns crossed for Kayden Jackson to net Town's second to seal a second victory in two games.

The win saw the Blues equal a club record run of 20 matches undefeated in all competitions set in the 1980/81 season.

Also in this week's select XI was Stoke keeper Mark Travers, indicating that the Blues might well have won more comfortably.

Ex-Town midfielder Shane McLoughlin, now with Newport County, is also in the EFL Team of the Week.

Linkboy13 added 11:55 - Aug 14 Morsy was magnificent on Saturday and easily man of the match. Problem he's good every week and taken for granted. In the first half Luongo was struggling with the pace and physicality of the game and Morsy carried him a bit. Second half when the pace dropped Luongo was much better.

MickMillsTash added 12:23 - Aug 14 Wolfenden does not seem to have sprinted in months. He is reading the game so well - Classy performer at the top of his game.

ImAbeliever added 12:52 - Aug 14 Burns has looked fitter and sharper in the 2 games I’ve seen. Maybe the wider pitches. Excellent on Saturday imo.

SuperKieranMcKenna added 13:07 - Aug 14 Andy I think you were at a different game - Burns was brilliant and set up the second goal. Even the Stoke fans were saying how many problems he caused them. Burgess should be in there for a solid display, over Darling who conceded a penalty in his game.

ChrisFelix added 13:31 - Aug 14 I thought Burns had a good game, best I have seen him play since his debut season. I wonder if he was carrying injury last year , which restricted his pace

FromIpswichToPhoenix added 15:09 - Aug 14 Come on, Andy. We have two players in team of the week in a league that is vastly more talented than the one we were in last season and you still manage to find a reason to complain.

IpswichToon added 15:12 - Aug 14 Why is Travers on there? As much as we had plenty of shots, I don’t recall anything spectacular. The only great of the game came from Hdlaky!
