Ipswich were well in control in this game thanks to Harry Martin winning a short corner and a superb drag flick from the ever impressive Keir Dixon.

Matters were not helped when Ipswich went down to nine men when Dixon was sent off for dissent and then, within 20 seconds of that, Reed was sent off for foul play.
The nine men certainly did the Ipswich shirt proud protecting James Walker, but Harleston scored two more from short corners.
Discipline will have to be addressed as Ipswich have now had seven yellows in the last four games as Matt Walker was sent off late in the day for foul play.
Ipswich welcome back James Smith who was sorely missed with his hard tackling from suspension, but in turn will lose a key player in Keir Dixon.
