Blues boss Mick McCarthy is remaining typically grounded despite three wins on the trot taking ninth-placed Town to within two points of the Championship’s play-off zone.
Saturday’s 2-1 victory over Huddersfield continued the impetus built up by the 1-0 win at Charlton last weekend and Tuesday’s 3-1 defeat of Blackburn.
"You want to build momentum all the time, there’s no special time for doing it,” McCarthy said. "We know Christmas is going to be tough with the squad that we have and the games that we’ve got coming.
"Just keep picking up points, I don’t get carried away with all that. If we end up in the play-offs at the end of the season, scraping in on goal difference, I’ll just take it when it comes.
"We are planning to finish as high as we can and it’s great to have three wins on the bounce. But we're going to Forest Saturday and that could burst the bubble very quickly, but we’ll see.”
The Town boss was delighted to see his two first-choice strikers grab the goals which beat the Terriers: "They’re a good partnership, they’ve been our best partnership, hence they play every week when the two of them are fit.
"Dids is the more technical footballer, but Murph is more powerful, quicker, aggressive and better in the air.
"If you mixed them both together you’re going to have one helluva player and he wouldn’t be here! But you could say that about a lot of players.”
Of late winning goal scorer Murphy, he added: "I signed him from Waterford for Sunderland for £100,000.
"He’s had a bit of a mixed and varied career, but he loves it here and I was keen to re-sign him and I think he’s repaying me in spades.”
