Leadbitter Only Has Himself to Blame - Ipswich Town News

Boss Roy Keane says midfielder Grant Leadbitter is the only one to blame for his ban for the next two matches after picking up his 10th yellow card of the season at Blackpool. On Friday, Keane revealed that he had spoken to the former Sunderland man regarding the number of cards he had picked up for dissent.

After Leadbitter's card at Bloomfield Road, Keane told the club site: "Grant has picked up some silly bookings for dissent and he's only got himself to blame. He's an important player for us but he's out and we have to get on with it."

Leadbitter's absence could see Jack Colback return to the centre of the midfield, while Owen Garvan could also come into the Town manager's thoughts.
