‘A lot to learn’ – Town U21s boss McGreal reflects on EFL Trophy defeat at Luton

Ipswich Town Under-21s manager John McGreal reflected on his side's 6-0 loss to Luton Town in their opening EFL Trophy match at Kenilworth Road. Jordan Clark scored a hat-trick for Luton Town, while Devante Cole, Joe Johnson, and Dawid Gawel also added goals in the commanding victory over the young Blues squad.

Despite the heavy scoreline, McGreal noted that his players would benefit from facing a strong League One opponent. He highlighted positive individual efforts from Charlie Compton and Luca Fletcher, while acknowledging moments of naivety against a ruthless senior side.
