Striker Nathan Ellington hit a hat-trick, Ronan Murray a brace and Jay Emmanuel-Thomas, Caolan Lavery and Colin Healy one each as Town’s reserves came from behind to romp to an 8-1 victory over Gillingham at Playford Road this afternoon.

Defender Ívar Ingimarsson came through the whole 90 minutes after his thigh strain and is likely to come into contention for a place in the first team which takes on Coventry in a live Sky game at Portman Road on Monday.

Today’s match was played behind closed doors but where both clubs agree games will be open to the general public with details announced a couple of days beforehand.

Reserves: Lee-Barrett, Ainsley, Whight, Ingimarsson, Smith, Thorsteinsson, Peters, Healy, Priskin, Ellington (Lavery 77), Emmanuel-Thomas (Murray 65).

h32 added 21:45 - Sep 14 David Wright is an accomplished full back - makes the job look so incredibly easy because he is that good. Should still be here - we've been, and still are, crying out for that kind of cultured player in that position. And we could have had him back - not now tho'.
