Reserve Squad - Ipswich Town News

Town reserves play Luton reserves this afternoon and have a very experienced squad to put out against the Hatters.

An interesting omission however is Manu Thetis which may mean he will be replacing Mark Venus in the side for Sunday's derby at Carrow Road. Wayne Brown, thought by many as an obvious replacement for Venus, is in the squad for this afternoon and it will be interesting to see how much of the game he plays.

Also playing are Adam Tanner and Titus Bramble, both of whom also have first team experience at centre-half. Again included in Finnish trialist Miikka Multaharju. The MyPa 47 midfielder starts his second game for the reserves. Jonas Axeldal will hope to continue his excellent reserves goalscoring run.

Full squad: Mike Salmon, James Pullen, John Kennedy, Marco Holster, Adam Tanner, Titus Bramble, Wayne Brown, Miikka Multaharju, Chris Keeble, Sean Friars, Jonas Axeldal, Richard Logan, Kevin Inglis, Justin Miller and Stephen Moffat.

Matt Holland is now Town's only real worry for Sunday's game, but seems more than likely to recover from the ankle injury that is giving him a problem. Jamie Clapham's foot problem has now cleared up. Norwich meanwhile seem set to be without Darren Eadie who has a knee injury.
