Blues striker Kieffer Moore netted his 12th goal of his loan spell at Rotherham but couldn’t prevent the Millers from falling to a 3-1 home defeat to Gillingham this afternoon.
Moore, who Blues boss Mick McCarthy says he is likely to bring back to Portman Road in January, remains League One’s top scorer, two ahead of former Blue Jack Marriott, now with Peterborough, who has scored 10.
Town right-back Josh Emmanuel, who is also on loan with Rotherham, was an unused sub.
Elsewhere, midfielder Adam McDonnell pulled a goal back for his loan side Aldershot just after half-time as they were beaten 3-1 at Barrow in the Vanarama National League, the third goal of his spell, while defender George Fowler was an unused sub.
Another centre-half, Chris Smith, was in the Chelmsford side whihc lost 3-2 at Chippenham in the National League South.
