Trotter and Millwall Draw at Huddersfield - Ipswich Town News
On-loan midfielder Liam Trotter helped his Millwall side to a 0-0 draw in the first leg of their play-off semi-final at Huddersfield this afternoon. The sides meet again at the Den on Tuesday.
Former Blue Scott Barron was twice denied a penalty, the first when his shot was handled by Peter Clarke and the second when the same defender tripped him inside the area. Ex-Town men Jordan Rhodes and Gary Roberts were in action for the Terriers.
If Millwall make to Wembley Trotter, who has been offered a new one-year deal by Town, will play in the League One final for the second year running, having helped Scunthorpe into the Championship a year ago, coincidentally by beating Millwall.
