Town boss Paul Cook says he will be fielding a strong team as the Blues face West Ham’s U21s in their opening Papa John’s Trophy Southern Group A game at Portman Road on Tuesday evening still looking for their first win of the season (KO 7.45pm).
Town have confirmed the signing of midfielder Samy Morsy from Middlesbrough on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee, the Blues’ 19th and final senior addition of the transfer window.
Town boss Kieran McKenna felt there was a lot more good than bad in the Blues’ performance as they were beaten 4-3 by Leeds United at Portman Road, their first defeat of the season, but insisted the Whites’ fourth goal shouldn’t have stood due to a foul on skipper Sam Morsy.
