Players are Confident - Ipswich Town News

The Town players are confident that we can go through to the next round of the UEFA Cup when they play Slovan Liberec tomorrow evening.

The conditions may not be ideal which will count against Town and the home side are likely to attack Town's goal right from the start as they try to overcome a narrow win for the Blues from the first leg.

Jamie Clapham believes this will be in our favour and will leave them vulverable at the back. "We want to draw them in and then catch them on the break as quickly as possible" he said. "I know the conditions may not be too good but I'm really looking forward to it and it will be extra special for the young players in the squad. I'm sure they'll gain plenty from it".

One such player is Darren Bent, the scorer of the goal in the first leg. He will be looking to add to his tally when he takes the field tomorrow. "It will be another terrific experience for me and I think we can do well. I badly want us to keep going in Europe. Who knows where it will lead?"

Of course the home side will have other ideas. Liberec goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky was impressed with Town's players in the first leg but is also confident they can turn the tie around. "In the past we have lost away and then done well at home to go through. We have to do the same again.

"To have come away from Ipswich just one goal behind is not bad and our supporters will help us. There are many players in the Ipswich side with great experience."
