Reserves Face Forest - Ipswich Town News

Town's second string travel to take on Nottingham Forest at the City Ground this evening (KO 7pm). Martijn Reuser, Drissa Diallo and Alun Armstrong are the most experienced players in Steve McCall's squad.

Reuser will be looking to impress after being involved in Town's second goal against West Brom on Sunday, while Armstrong will be looking to do well in front of watching scouts.

Like Reuser, Diallo will hope to do enough to win a place in the side during the run-in.

Young Irish front man Billy Clarke has also been drafted into the squad. Ben Patten and Jerome Sobers, the recent signings from Ford United, are also included.

Former Blue David Johnson was in the Forest reserves line-up which drew 0-0 against Chelsea on Monday and may well be included again. The striker is looking to improve his fitness after a lengthy absence due to a broken leg.

Reserves: Price, Mitchell, Barron, Boardley, Manning, Collins, Diallo, Flack, Kamara, Armstrong, Reuser, Craig, Atay, Patten, Supple, Sobers, Clarke.


The new orange away shirt can be ordered by using the Club's online store or by visiting Planet Blue.
