Ross Halls takes look at how Ipswich Town players got on for their loan clubs this weekend....

ELKAN BAGGOTT 

The defender wasn't in action for Blackpool as they were held to a goalless draw with Stevenage in League One.

Baggott has had an injury hit spell at the Seasiders with an ankle problem initially sidelining him for a couple of months. A thigh problem has since been the reason for his absence, but his manager Steve Bruce has confirmed he is back in training.

He could be pushing to be involved over the festive period. He's been limited to just four appearances in all competitions this term.

Harness came on as a 84th minute for Paul Warne's side, who took the lead via former Town forward Kayden Jackson just before the hour mark, but conceded two late goals to suffer their tenth defeat of the season.

The Rams will look to bounce back when they host West Brom on Boxing Day.
