Bramble's England Snub - Ipswich Town News
Titus Bramble has been left out of David Platt's England U21 squad meeting Slovenia this week and is now all the more determined to win his place back in the Town side.
With John McGreal suspended for Town's next game against Southampton, Bramble has an opportunity to get his season on track, although he could face opposition from Thomas Gaardsøe, just back from his ankle injury.
Bramble said: "I can't be disappointed at not getting picked for England as I'm not even in the Ipswich side at the moment. But now I have a chance to get back in the side and I intend to take it with both hands. I want to get in the team and play so well that the manager can't drop me again. I'm totally focused on winning my Ipswich Town place back and then we will see about England."
