Bolton is Key - Holland - Ipswich Town News
Town skipper Matt Holland says that a win at Bolton next week is key to Town surviving in the Premiership, but he feels that getting points from Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool is by no means beyond his side.
The Town skipper is still looking at that magic 40 point mark: "We've always said 40 points is the target so we need two wins and a draw. They are tough fixtures but I think Bolton is the big game for us."
However, even if Town win against Bolton and Middlesbrough it looks likely that points will be required from at least one of the other three games. Holland doesn't think the games against the top three should be written off: "Why couldn't we take points off the top teams? People recently wrote us off against Newcastle and Chelsea but we drew against them both.
"We also won 1-0 at Anfield last season so there's no reason why we can't do that again. Liverpool might need to win for the title and might be nervous. Who knows?
"We will hopefully have done the business by then but if it comes down to that, then so be it."
