Burley Confident - Ipswich Town News
Town boss George Burley says his side are already showing a "steely determination" which will get them back into the Premiership. Burley's side take on Bristol City today in their second Bristol pre-season friendly.
The Blues' boss said: "We know the First Division well and we know how tough it will be.
"But the lads are already showing a steely determination to get back into the Premiership."
Burley has been especially impressed with the performances of Darren Ambrose and Darren Bent while he cited last week's two lost matches in Denmark as "tough games", but ones which sharpened his side up.
