Blues forward Conor Chaplin has been nominated for the PFA Vertu Motors Fans League One Player of the Month for August.

Town and West Ham United drew 1-1 in this afternoon’s behind-closed-doors friendly at the Hammers’ Rush Green training ground.

Midfielder Lee Evans has been named in both the EFL and League One Teams of the Week for his display in Saturday’s 2-0 win at Accrington.

Accrington manager John Coleman felt there was a foul in the build-up to Town’s second goal during the Blues’ 2-0 win at the Wham Stadium yesterday and that his team didnt deserve to lose.

Ipswich Towns victory at Accrington Stanley set a new club record of winning four successive away games at the start of a season, an impressive achievement which was acknowledged by Conor Chaplin post-match, but the main focus was on who scored the second goal, leading to a FaceTime discussion between the forward and wing-back Wes Burns.

Blues forward Sone Aluko is facing surgery on the knee injury he suffered during Tuesday’s 6-0 defeat of Northampton in the Papa Johns Trophy, while it’s hoped Conor Chaplin will return to training today but new signing Panutche Camara won’t be involved at Accrington tomorrow.

Ipswich Town travel to Accrington Stanley on Saturday aiming to win their first four away games at the start of a season for the first time in their history.

Aaron Ramsey’s goal has given Cardiff City a 1-0 half-time lead over the Blues at Portman Road.

Freddie Ladapo scored twice and Nathan Broadhead once as Town came from two goals behind to beat Cardiff City 3-2 at Portman Road. Aaron Ramsey gave the Welshmen the lead on the half hour, skipper Joe Ralls made it 2-0 on 52 with the game appearing all but over at that point, but Broadhead smashed in a brilliant strike in the 59th minute, then Ladapo netted on 68 and 78 to see the Blues to victory and back up to second in the table.

Town are hoping to complete the signing of Plymouth Argyle midfielder Panutche Camara before this evening’s deadline.
