Reserves Face Derby - Ipswich Town News
Town's reserves are taking on Derby County at Portman Road this evening (KO 7pm) with the management yet to decide on which keeper to field.
With the Carrow Road derby on Sunday Joe Royle and his staff have a difficult job to pick a keeper with neither Andy Marshall or James Pullen impressing lately.
Alun Armstrong, Martijn Reuser and Richard Naylor are all likely to be involved with the second string while Matt Richards may get a run-out, although perhaps not for 90 minutes as he may be required on Sunday.
Nabil Abidallah is unwell and unavailable, however Dean Bowditch and Antonio Murray, both impressing Joe Royle of late, should be in the starting line-up.
