The Town squad have been enjoying some much-needed rest as they prepare for the last leg of 2012/13. Manager Mick McCarthy has allowed the squad some time off during the international week.

Speaking prior to the break, McCarthy said: “I’ll give the players a few days off in the middle of the week. We’ll all have a few days off.

“It’s been intense and it’s going to get a bit more intense over Easter. There’s nobody workshy in the club and there’s nobody not prepared to put the hard work in or the miles in.

“So, they need a rest, they’ll need all the legwork they can get between now and the end of the season.”

Various members of the squad and staff were at yesterday’s club Golf Day at Stoke-by-Nayland alongside ex-players, supporters and corporate customers.

wkj added 06:22 - Mar 21 although we are still in a dangerous spot a lot of the players have worked much harder under mick and its all about finding that gel and venom in front of goal. I hope the players enjoy their break; most have deserved it

wkj added 09:00 - Mar 21 I would say 7 points is more like it- it's so tight right now and out GD is so poor- I'd say 6 points isn't quite enough

Morgan added 23:20 - Mar 21 Leeds and Millwall in the next two games are good targets. Grind out another 1-0 against Leeds and take advantage of Millwall losing form and dreaming of the FA cup final. What I've seen against Leicester and Bolton suggests we have the spirit to do that. If we can do it sooner rather than later it means we have a bit of breathing space and won't be under so much pressure then we can watch someone else's side fall apart under the stress of the relegation dogfight! Then Wednesday away and vital B'ham at home. I went to St Andrews for Micks first game, we are far better organised now. If we can win 3 of those games and pick up a couple of points elsewhere we should limp over the line!
