Sartid Boss on Town - Ipswich Town News

FK Sartid boss Jovica Skoro has seen little of Town so far, but is aware that the Blues are an attractive side who he believes could cause his side problems.

So far he has only seen a video of Town's pre-season game with Celta Vigo and hopes to see more matches on tape before tomorrow's match.

He says he has had Town watched and rates Matt Holland, Marcus Bent and a player he knew only as the left-back as the Blues' best players.

Skoro says his side are capable of beating Town: "We have a chance in this tie, especially because the second leg is in Smederevo. We are stronger at home than on the road and that's why the draw suits us.

This is the third game they have played against British opposition in two years. Last season they beat Dundee 5-2 in the Intertoto Cup and they beat Welsh side Bangor City 2-1 in the qualifying round of the UEFA Cup: "It's amazing luck that we are facing British opposition again, for the third time in two years.

"I don't know if Ipswich play a typical style of English football, but I've been told that they are an attractive side who will cause us problems."

The best Sartid players are their Yugoslav international keeper Dragan Zilic, midfielder Boris Vaskovic and 35-year-old captain Goran Bogdanovic. Key man Bogdanovic is a doubt with a leg injury.

Bangor manager Peter Davenport has warned Town not to underestimate the Serb side as if they do Skoro's side will cause the Blues problems.
