Town are sending a strong U21 squad to Brentford’s Griffin Park this afternoon for a Professional Development League Two South game against the Bees (KO 3pm).

Bilel Mohsno, Arran Lee-Barrett, Jack Ainsley, Massimo Luongo and Nathan Ellington are all included, while midfielder Cormac Burke plays his first game in five weeks due to injury.

Summer signing Elliott Hewitt is also in the squad, his comeback from his hip operations having been put back by a recent bout of tonsillitis.

U21s: Lee-Barrett, Marsden, Ainsley, Hammond, Hewitt, October, Whight, Mohsni, Berkane, Burke, Clarke, Lawrence, Luongo, Timlin, Ellington, Marriott, Winter.

bluefeast added 10:53 - Oct 30 Im just wondering why and what is the point in under 21s if older players are selected. I also believe that those not in the first team should play a match each week in the community ,ie suffolk and essex. It would do wonders for some of these players to lose a boot in a muddy puddle on a cold night in Clacton. It would also help build bridges between Ipswich players and the community as a whole.
