Three Changes For Blues Against Owls - Ipswich Town News
Town boss Kieran McKenna makes three changes for this afternoon’s game against Sheffield Wednesday at Portman Road with Axel Tuanzebe, Omari Hutchinson and Nathan Broadhead coming into the team.
Tuanzebe is in at right-back for Harry Clarke and Broadhead on the left of the attacking three for Jeremy Sarmiento, who both drop to the bench, while Hutchinson replaces Conor Chaplin, who misses out on a place in the squad for a league game for the first time this season having suffered a minor knock in training.

McKenna: We're Devastated We Didn't Get It Over the LineTown boss Kieran McKenna admitted he had left a devastated and frustrated dressing room following the 3-3 draw at Stoke City, the Potters having grabbed a last-gasp leveller via a contentious penalty, both with the decision and after being unable to see out what would have been their first comeback victory in almost 23 months.
Stoke City 3-3 Ipswich Town - Match ReportTown suffered last-gasp penalty heartbreak of a different variety as Stoke City netted a 96th-minute penalty to claim a 3-3 draw from a topsy-turvy game at the bet365 Stadium. Goals from Milan Smit and Bae Junho in a disastrous final 10-minute spell at the end of the first half gave the Potters a 2-0 half-time lead but an own goal by Eric Bocat and strikes from Jack Taylor and George Hirst looked to have won it until the home side were harshly awarded a penalty after Cedric Kipre and Jens Cajuste tangled with Lamine Cisse in the box and Smit bagged his second of the game from the spot.
