It was a heated finish to a game that didn’t feature many bookings or ferocious tackles, and it will leave John Coleman debating whether to recall Toby Savin for Saturday’s trip to Charlton.

Cameron Burgess, Kayden Jackson, and Janoi Donacien were all ex-Reds in Ipswich’s starting lineup.

In three minutes of added time, though, a dangerous ball in almost found Ladapo before Conor Chaplin had the ball in the net for Ipswich but it was called offside.

Town’s leading scorer Chaplin was unable to strike the target immediately after the restart as he sought his 20th goal of the season.

Broadhead delivered a pass into the box, Massimo Luongo’s drive was deflected against the crossbar, and Jackson was there to pounce on the rebound on 56 minutes.

Coleman made a triple replacement with Doug Tharme, Cody Adedoyin, and Nathan just after the hour mark.

In a strong position, Ipswich’s Leif Davis fired wide, but Stanley did well to contain Ipswich’s attacking danger in the closing 20 minutes.

Jensen, Fernandes, Rodgers (Tharme), Sangare, Clark, Quirk (Adedoyin), Conneely, Longelo (Nolan), Martin, Pressley (Isherwood), Mancini (Butler-Oyedeji) are the players for Stanley.
