McEveley in Reserves - Ipswich Town News
New loan signing Jay McEveley is in the reserve squad facing Fulham at their Motspur Park training ground this evening (KO 7pm). The Blackburn Rovers player has joined the Blues on a season-long loan.
Boss Joe Royle told the club site that the left-sided defender is in need of games: "Jay is not match fit and we need a couple of weeks to get him there but we have that time now.
"We have a couple of reserve team games between now and the Sheffield United match and we will use them to get him to the level of fitness we want him at."
