IPSWICH UP AND RUNNING
IPSWICH started life in the third tier for the first time since 1957 by winning 1-0 away at BURTON, with Luke Garbutt’s deflected effort the only goal of the game while Stephen Quinn was sent off for the hosts. For Ipswich boss Paul Lambert, who led Norwich to the Premier League from League One in two seasons, it was a great start after relegation last term. ‘On the first day of the season, it doesn’t matter if you’ve only just come down, it can go any way. I’m happy, really happy,’ the 49-year-old said. ‘It’s a great start for everyone.’ Expectations are high at LINCOLN and Danny Cowley said his side can improve after a comfortable 2-0 win over ACCRINGTON. ‘We have something to work on,’ Cowley said after goals from Michael O’Connor and John Akinde. COVENTRY started their second stint away from the Ricoh Arena at Birmingham’s St Andrew’s by beating
SOUTHEND 1-0 after Zain Westbrooke’s 20-yard screamer. Promotion contenders
PETERBOROUGH and PORTSMOUTH got off to poor starts losing 3-1 and 1-0 against
FLEETWOOD and SHREWSBURY respectively. Simon Grayson got the first win of his second spell as
BLACKPOOL manager after Jay Spearing scored from the spot and Armand Gnanduillet headed home in a 2-0 win against BRISTOL ROVERS.
