From The Gaffer
Speaking to Posh+ ahead of the game, Allsebrook said: “We love a cup competition like everyone else. We had a good run last year in the plate and played against some talented sides. We showed last season what it takes to have a good cup run; to sometimes play gritty games and not play at your best to get the result.
“Ipswich will be a difficult game; they played us in pre-season and lost narrowly on the day. They’ve got a talented side with great facilities. We believe we have the quality to go far in this competition and Sunday will provide a great chance to prove that.”
