McCarthy Makes Another Trip to Colchester - Ipswich Town News
Town boss Mick McCarthy made his second visit to the Weston Homes Community Stadium in a week tonight to catch Colchester United’s 0-0 League One draw with Rotherham.
The Blues manager, who watched Town’s U21s win this afternoon, was previously at Colchester’s 1-0 defeat to Sheffield United last Tuesday.
McCarthy may have been keeping tabs on a specific player - Town-supporting keeper Sam Walker who recently joined the U's on a permanent basis from Chelsea is highly rated and was the standout performer against the Blades - or may just have been casting a more general eye over the teams.
