Jim: Four Points Needed - Ipswich Town News
Town skipper Jim Magilton says the Blues need just four more points to seal a place in this year's play-offs.
Magilton, who scored a hat-trick in the home play-off semi-final against Bolton in 1999/00 told the club site: "Four points should be enough to get us into the play-offs and then I wouldn't fear anyone.
"I think Wigan are the best team we have faced this season. They beat us home and away and we struggled to cope with them at Portman Road especially.
"But I wouldn't worry about playing them or any of the other clubs up there at the moment.
"On our day, we are capable of beating anyone in this division and over three games in the play-offs, I would back us to come out on top.”
