Trotter in Play-Off Action - Ipswich Town News
On-loan midfielder Liam Trotter will be in play-off action with Millwall when they visit Huddersfield on Saturday afternoon (Sky Sports One, noon). The 21-year-old is involved in the League One play-offs for the second year running, having helped Scunthorpe into the Championship last season, coincidentally beating Millwall in the final at Wembley.
Trotter will come up against former Town team-mates Jordan Rhodes and Gary Roberts when they take on the Terriers, while ex-Blue Scott Barron is also in the Lions squad. The second leg at the Den is on Tuesday.
Town boss Roy Keane has offered Trotter a new contract with his current terms up in the summer, while Millwall want to sign him on a permanent basis and other Championship and League One clubs are also likely to be interested.

Blackburn Rovers 1-0 Ipswich Town - Match AbandonedTown look set to face a return trip to Blackburn Rovers later in the season after this afternoon’s game was abandoned after 80 minutes due to a waterlogged pitch with the home side 1-0 up and with the Blues down to 10 men. Jacob Greaves was shown a straight red card four minutes after the break for hauling down Yuki Ohashi, then Rovers skipper Todd Cantwell netted a penalty on 59, but the heavy rain had made the game increasingly farcical the longer it progressed and in the 80th minute referee Stephen Martin took the players off and then 25 minutes later abandoned it entirely.
