Marriott Set to Return to Town - Ipswich Town News
Town boss Mick McCarthy says striker Jack Marriott will return to Portman Road when his one-month loan spell at Carlisle is up after Saturday’s game at Mansfield.
McCarthy confirmed that the 20-year-old, an unused sub during last night's 1-0 defeat to Shrewsbury, would be returning to the Blues: "He’s coming back.”
Marriott has made three starts and two sub appearances without scoring for the Cumbrians, who are currently bottom of the Football League and who sacked manager Graham Kavanagh during his time at Brunton Park.
Meanwhile, former Blues winger Reggie Lambe has joined Carlisle’s weekend opponents Mansfield following a trial.
The Bermudian previously spent time on trial with Bradford, following a three-month spell with Swedish side Nykopings BIS and a two-year stint in the MLS with Toronto FC.

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.
