Strong U23s Side Faces QPR - Ipswich Town News
Freddie Sears, Luke Hyam, Kevin Bru and Tristan Nydam will all be in the Blues’ U23s side facing QPR at Playford Road this afternoon (KO 1pm).

New striker Aaron Drinan is also expected to be in Gerard Nash’s team.
Town’s U23s are unbeaten since mid-October and last week fought from two goals behind to draw 2-2 at Crystal Palace.
Meanwhile, the Blues U18s drew 2-2 at Millwall on Saturday with the goals coming from trialist Kai Brown and Jack Lankester.
