City's reserves lost tonight against Ipswich Towns second string in front of 2323 people when Richard Logan hit home in the second half to take all three points back down the A14.

A City side that included old timers Price, Dudfield and Stewart, first teamers Oakes, Benjamin, Gunnlaugsson and Guppy, aswell as (not so) new boy Delaney had much of the better play during the first half with Gunnlaugsson a constant threat to the Ipswich defence although his shots constantly went either wide or straight at the 'keeper, which seems to justify Taylor's decision not to start him in the first team at the moment.

The game also marked a return, if not triumphant, for Lawrie Dudfield who has just come back from being on loan spell at Chesterfield. The chance to play regular first team football, all be it in the lower divisions, seems to have a very good effect on Dudfield with him charging at the Ipswich defence right from the start of the game. Forfoxsake still predicts great things from Dudfield who has fast become FFS's one to watch and he certainly deserves to get his chance in the first team next season if not before.

Alas though for all of City's efforts and with a team that a couple of years ago would have been taking on Chelsea at around Christmas time, City's reserves continued a trend that they have learnt from the first teamers. Succumbing to soft goals when they should have already put the game out of the reach of their opponents.

A moment of madness let Ipswich's Abidallah get a ball through for Logan who simply slid the ball past a bewildered Price.
