Terry Connor wary of Michael Chopra threat

Ipswich Town assistant manager Terry Connor has warned his side to be wary of former player Michael Chopra.

The 30-year old, who spent two years with the Tractor Boys, returns to Portman Road tomorrow with his new club Blackpool.

Connor knows all about the threat the striker possesses, but insists that he must be treated in the same way as any other opponent.

"You always are a little bit wary when a player with his pedigree comes back," Connor is quoted as saying by the East Anglian Daily Times. "We'll treat him as every other opponent, we'll try and stop his strengths and work on the weaknesses.

"I think Michael will receive a good reception from the lads but we'll treat it like any other player coming back."

Chopra made 78 league appearances for the Championship club, scoring 18 goals.
