Town Drop to Seventh - Ipswich Town News

Town dropped to seventh in the Championship following last night’s matches.

The Blues weren’t in action as their scheduled game with Derby was postponed so the Rams could play Barnsley at Oakwell in the second round of the Carabao Cup, a tie which ended 3-2 to the Tykes. Town will now travel to Pride Park on Tuesday 28th November.

Elsewhere, victories in the Championship saw Sheffield United, Sheffield Wednesday and Preston, who defeated early season pacesetters Cardiff 3-0 at Deepdale, all climb above the Blues, who drop out of the top six for the first time this season.

The Blades, now third, won 1-0 away against Saturday’s visitors to Portman Road, Bolton Wanderers, who remain bottom of the division without a win.

Leeds now top the table after their 2-0 victory over Birmingham with the Bluebirds now second.

Meanwhile, Blues striker Kieffer Moore surprisingly didn’t add to his season’s six goals as his loan side Rotherham thrashed Walsall 5-1 at the New York Stadium in League One. Fellow Town loanee Josh Emmanuel again missed out having been sidelined by a toe injury.

Blues pair Adam McDonnell and George Fowler both played the full 90 minutes as their loan side Aldershot won 2-0 away at Ebbsfleet in the Vanarama National League, the Irish midfielder claiming an assist for the second goal.

What a win away from home !! good feeling getting an assist🤙🏼 Onto saturday🔵🔴 @OfficialShots– adam mc donnell (@AdamMcDonnell97) September 12, 2017

Meanwhile, Town are said to be one of a number of clubs keeping tabs on 18-year-old West Brom striker Tyler Roberts, who as things stand will be out of contract next summer.

Sunderland, Brighton and the Blues are reported to be tracking the youngster, whose future at the Hawthorns could depend on his form during a loan spell at Walsall this season.

Wales U21 international Roberts has previously spent time on loan at Oxford and Shrewsbury.
