Town exited the EFL Football Manager Cup at the second round stage following a 3-1 defeat at Luton Town.
The Blues, managed by Joe Fairs, who posts on TWTD as itfcjoe and also runs the ITFC_Academy Twitter account, were 3-0 down at the break, even though Tomas Holy saved a penalty, and were only able to pull one goal back in the second half, Kayden Jackson finding the net just after the restart.
Coincidentally, 3-1 was the scoreline when the teams met for real in the Carabao Cup at Kenilworth Road in August.
Last Thursday, Joe successfully saw the Blues through the first round via a 3-2 after-extra-time victory at Port Vale, despite his team having been reduced to nine men.

Kayden Jackson scored just after half time to give #ITFC hope of a dramatic comeback but it wasn’t to be.
