Ipswich Town welcome Teddy Sheringham’s Stevenage to Portman Road on Tuesday night, as Mick McCarthy’s men look to bounce back from their Championship opening-day heartbreak by booking a place in Round 2 of the Capital One Cup.
The Tractor Boys conceded two stoppage-time goals to draw 2-2 away at Brentford on Saturday, yet a solid all-round performance will have provided nothing but encouragement.
Sheringham’s men also stuttered as the Football League got under way, going down 2-0 at home to Notts County. Still, they’ll fancy their chances of slaying the Goliath before them, especially since Town are set to make wholesale changes to the side that impressed at Griffin Park.
