  Especially given today’s video, any updates on how much he’s playing/how he’s doing at Ipswich?
  

  
  He isn't.

  I don't know any details but I always look to see if he's in the squad but he's hardly featured.
  Has he been injured aswell?

  I live in suffolk - so I get the local paper.  Thought I would go and see him - https://www.suffolknews.co.uk/ipswich/sport/transfer-talk-villa-contemplate-recalling-youngster-9219543/
  
  From what I understand he's impressed in training, fans think he looks a little lightweight, but hasn't really had a chance. 
  
  Think Ipswich are still on their Paul Lambert hangover - which we know all about

• Thanks for the update.
  Much appreciated.
  It sounds like he just hasn't caught a break and got a decent run in the side and it does, barring injuries, seem like he won't get a chance.
  Is there an option to recall him in January?

  Yes I believe so.  I read somewhere (though can't find it), that they were looking to call him back potentially.
  
  It's a shame - as I thought it was a good move for him.  TBF I have only seen him against Liverpool seniors and in the FA Cup Youth final - but I thought he looked a bit special so I thought he would get more chances. 
  
  Currently, they are playing 1 upfront - which probably doesn't help, though he could probably play wide / inside forward.

• He'd be better off training with our first team than theirs.

• A recall with a further loan move to a League 1 or 2 side might be the best option for him.

  The Swindon fan on the Kesler thread mentioned rumours that they want to take him for the 2nd half of the season.

• So is the decision by our loans management team to send Barry to Ipswich a poor one?

• It did look like a great move from the outside.
  Paul Cook is a seasoned manager who did a brilliant job at Wigan and seems to be turning things  around at Ipswich.
  It would be a surprise from our point of view if he stayed there though as he's more than ready for first team football at that level.
  Maybe a drop down to a lesser side and he'll be flying in no time.
