Town Draw Millwall Away - Ipswich Town News

Town will play Millwall away in the third round of the Carling Cup, the Blues’ fifth sucessive away draw in the competition, the eighth in both cups and the seventh since Roy Keane took over as boss.

Midfielder Liam Trotter moved to the Den from Portman Road during the summer, while striker Kevin Lisbie is on loan with the Lions for the season. Another former Blue, full-back or midfielder Scott Barron, signed a new three-year-deal with Kenny Jackett's club this week.
