Mixed Feelings for Mings - Ipswich Town News

Town youngster Tyrone Mings admits he has mixed feelings about being behind Aaron Cresswell in the first team pecking order.

Mings is currently standing in for Cresswell during his two-game suspension for picking up a red card soon after the final whistle in the 1-1 home draw with Barnsley.

The 20-year-old is again set to deputise in the home game against high-flying Leicester on Saturday but the smart money would be on Cresswell reclaiming his first team slot once he has completed his ban.

Mings admits it will be hard having to make way for the player that manager Mick McCarthy has consistently labelled the Championship’s best left-back.

He said: "Yes, it will be frustrating because I want to play, but I also learn a lot from Cressy and from how he plays, what he does and how good he is on the ball. It’s good to learn but I also want to play and show what I can do.”

With Town U21 coach Mark Kennedy also a former left-back it means Mings does not have to go far to receive the right advice in order to progress his career.

He added: "I’ve got two very good people here that I can learn from. I speak to Cressy and Mark, and I ask questions. Cressy does give me advice — he’s been in a lot more situations than I have. Mark has been in a lot more situations than both of us, so I still speak to him about it as well.”

Mings has made three senior starts and one sub appearance for the Blues but Saturday's game will see him make his home debut.
