Reggie Lambe’s – Ipswich Town
Lambe’s Ipswich Town progressed to the fourth round of the FA Cup with a hard-fought victory over nine-man Blackpool away from home at Bloomfield Road.
Jack Colback opened the scoring for the visitors in the third minute with a right-footed shot from the edge of the area, although Blackpool were unfortunate not to be level at the break after they were denied by the woodwork on no fewer than three occasions.
The hosts did equalize early in the second half through Brett Ormerod's header, but their hard work was soon undone as Ian Evatt and Rob Edwards picked up straight red cards.
Ipswich capitalized on the dismissals, with substitute Owen Garvan firing home the winner from a free-kick with 13 minutes remaining.
Khano Smith’s – Lincoln City
Bolton caretaker manager Chris Evans, assisted by head coach Steve Wigley, got off to a winning start with their side securing a place in the fourth round of the FA Cup with a 4 – 0 win over Smith’s Lincoln City.
Both Evans and Wigley must have been satisfied with the way the team went about their business against the lowly League Two side, although they did require an own-goal from Moses Swaibu in the 48th minute to get the ball rolling.
