No Deal for Hubnik - Ipswich Town News
Town boss Jim Magilton says he will not be looking to sign Czech trialist Roman Hubnik. The 24-year-old played in last night's game at Gillingham but failed to impress the Blues manager.
Magilton said: "He is behind us fitness-wise and looked more comfortable when he switched to right-back. But I don't think I am going to pursue things.â€Â
The Town boss was much more impressed with Dutch signing Pim Balkestein playing in a Hermann Hreidarsson-esque left-back role: "Pim has given me plenty to think about and he showed that he can handle the left-back position.
"He is determined to make a success of his career and if he does not make the grade, it will be our fault.â€Â
Magilton was also impressed with striker Pablo Couñago and young defender Tommy Smith.
Overall, Magilton felt his side were below par in the first half but better after the break: "The game was too open in the first half and we were disjointed. But we controlled proceedings after the break and overall a draw was about right.â€Â
