Moore Nets 11th of Loan Spell - Ipswich Town News
On-loan Blues striker Kieffer Moore netted his 11th goal of the season as Rotherham drew 3-3 at Oxford United.
The 25-year-old, League One’s top scorer, grabbed the Millers’ third goal in the 78th minute to claim a point.
Speaking on Thursday, Rotherham boss Paul Warne, whose side are fifth, said he would talk to Town manager Mick McCarthy about his January plans for Moore this week.
The former Forest Green Rovers man is on a season-long loan with the South Yorkshiremen but with the Blues able to cut the spell short in January, as is the case with right-back Josh Emmanuel, who also played the full 90 minutes for the Millers today.
Elsewhere, Adam McDonnell played the whole game for Aldershot who equalised on 80 then grabbed a 95th minute winner as they defeated Tranmere 2-1 at home in the Vanarama National League. Fellow Blue George Fowler wasn’t included in the matchday squad.
Another young Town defender, Chris Smith, played the full 90 minutes for Chelmsford as they beat Dartford 1-0 at home in the National League South, despite being reduced to 10 men in the 19th minute.
Meanwhile, the Blues remain 10th going into tomorrow's East Anglian derby following today's fixtures but Norwich - a point ahead of Town - dropped a place to ninth.
