Spurs lost 2-0 in the first leg of the Semi-Final at Portman Road on Friday night with the second match to be played at White Hart Lane on Wednesday.

Goals from Liam Trotter and Billy Clarke gave the Suffolk side the advantage but Holland felt there was still everything to play for.

He said: "Our boys are really disappointed so we will have to lift them up before Wednesday.

"They are coming in on Sunday and we will have a little workout. We will cheer them up and then start thinking about how we are going to get that first goal.

"I thought the best side won on the night and Ipswich played the better football, but we are not out of this at all. We have got a second leg and anything can happen."

Trotter, who is from Ipswich but only joined the club last summer, believed his side had a fantastic opportunity to reach the final.

He said: "We put in a great performance and defended well. I thought we dominated the game.

"Hopefully, we can take it to the second leg and get a good result."

Trotter, a 16-year-old central midfielder, hoped his goal would help secure his long-term future at Portman Road.

"I was originally on a schoolboy contract for the year and I have been told I’m going to be offered a two-year apprenticeship from next season," said Trotter.

"I should have another two years here but that still has to be finalised.

"This is probably the highest point of my career so far. I have not been at a professional club until this season so every day is a new experience."
