Joe: It's Up to Us - Ipswich Town News
Town boss Joe Royle says that the Blues' promotion push is in their own hands. Royle's side sit in eighth place in Division One but are just one point behind West Ham, Millwall and Sheffield United in the play-off positions.
The Town manager says: "When you remember we have West Bromwich Albion and Sunderland still to come at Portman Road, and we have to play Sheffield United away, our destiny is back in our own hands.
"After that run of three defeats in a row we needed two things - to sort ourselves out and for other teams to do us a favour. But now it's down to what we do."
The Blues face Albion at Portman Road next Sunday afternoon in a Sky Sports live game.
