Bru and Anderson Start - Ipswich Town News

Mick McCarthy has made two changes from the team which beat Wigan 2-1 on Monday for today’s home game against Rotherham United. Kevin Bru and Paul Anderson replace the injured Cole Skuse and Teddy Bishop, who drops to the bench.

Skuse, who has been suffering with a toe injury, came off in the second half at the DW Stadium, while Bishop was also replaced with cramp.

The Blues look likely to continue with the 4-3-3 formation utilised against the Latics.

The Millers include ex-Blues keeper Scott Loach and former loanees Frazer Richardson and Paul Green from the start but on-loan Town pair Paul Taylor and Anthony Wordsworth are ineligible.

Town: Gerken, Parr, Mings, Berra, Chambers (c), Bru, Hyam, Anderson, Murphy, McGoldrick, Sammon. Subs: Bialkowski, Smith, Tabb, Hewitt, Henshall, Bishop, Bajner.

Rotherham: Loach, Skarz, Arnason, Broadfoot, Hall, Frecklington (c). Revell, Bowery, Green, Richardson, Pringle. Subs: Collin, Brindley, Becchio, Swift, Derbyshire, Clarke-Harris, Rowe. Referee: Keith Hill (Hertfordshire).
