Quartet Start at Bury - Ipswich Town News
Kayden Jackson, Teddy Bishop, Myles Kenlock and Brett McGavin all start for the Blues at Bury Town this evening (KO 7.30pm).
The quartet are among the senior players who are currently training with the U23s squad.
The rest of the side is made up of U18s with none of the senior players who played the first half of Saturday’s 1-0 win at Dartford having travelled to West Suffolk.
It’s likely that the entire team will be changed at half-time as is common at this stage of pre-season.
Town: Ridd, Agbaje, Kenlock, McGavin, Stewart, Armin, Valentine, Chirewa, Jackson, Bishop, Humphreys.

McKenna: An Inevitable DecisionTown boss Kieran McKenna says it was an ‘inevitable decision’ for referee Stephen Martin to abandon the Blues’ match at Blackburn Rovers and expects to return to Ewood Park to restage the contest.
Blackburn Rovers 1-0 Ipswich Town - Match AbandonedTown look set to face a return trip to Blackburn Rovers later in the season after this afternoon’s game was abandoned after 80 minutes due to a waterlogged pitch with the home side 1-0 up and with the Blues down to 10 men. Jacob Greaves was shown a straight red card four minutes after the break for hauling down Yuki Ohashi, then Rovers skipper Todd Cantwell netted a penalty on 59, but the heavy rain had made the game increasingly farcical the longer it progressed and in the 80th minute referee Stephen Martin took the players off and then 25 minutes later abandoned it entirely.
