Matches

FA Cup

As in the League Cup, Ipswich only progressed through one round of the FA Cup, falling to a 2–1 defeat against Southampton at St Mary's. This meant Ipswich was only left with trying to improve its league position.

League Cup

Ipswich Town's League Cup campaign was disappointing. After winning a thrilling first round tie against Shrewsbury Town, Ipswich was knocked out of the competition by Peterborough United at London Road after Ipswich striker Tamas Priskin missed a vital penalty.
