Jim: Avoid Banana Skin - Ipswich Town News

Boss Jim Magilton says the FA Cup draw away at Bury or Chester City could be a tricky one for the Blues. The Town manager says his players need to go into the game in the right frame of mind.

Magilton told the club site: "It's a potential banana skin for us.

"Whether it be Bury or Chester, they are sure to be fired up for it and will look at it as an opportunity for a giantkilling.

"It's a tricky tie for us and we have to go there with the right attitude, match their determination and make sure we do a professional job."

The League Two sides replay at Chester's Deva Stadium on Tuesday, December 12th, Saturday's game having ended 2-2.

Town will travel to play the winners on the weekend of January 6th and 7th.
