Reserves Travel to Fulham - Ipswich Town News

Steve McCall's reserve side go to Fulham tonight looking for their third successive win (KO 7pm). Despite the recent victories over Derby and Spurs, Town's second string are still four points adrift at the bottom of the FA Premier Reserve League (South) table.

With the first leg of the FA Youth Cup semi-final against Spurs at Portman Road on Friday (KO 7pm), the Blues have named a very young squad for the trip to the Cottagers' training ground at Motspur Park, New Malden.

Keeper Lewis Price is the only player with first team experience, although sub stopper Shane Supple has been on the bench on a number of occasions.

Adem Atay, Daniel Flack and Ben Patten will be out to impress any watching scouts having been told they will be released by Town at the end of the season, while Dean McDonald, Lubo Guentchev and Charlie Sheringham will want to persuade the Blues to extend their spells at Portman Road.

McDonald is on a short-term professional contract until the end of the season, while Sheringham and Guentchev, both sons of former international strikers, have been with the Academy for much of the season.

Subs Luke Webster and Tony Boto will be amongst the new full-time Academy intake for next season.

Squad: Lewis Price, Daniel Flack, Stuart Ainsley, Liam Manning, Ben Patten, Fraser Beveridge, Danny Haynes, Adem Atay, Dean McDonald, Lubo Guentchev, Blair Hammond, Charlie Sheringham, Shane Supple, Tony Boto, Luke Webster, Oliver Fenn.
