Premier League legend Alan Shearer says Ipswich Town will have to 'improve massively' if they are to get anything at Brentford today - and survive in the top tier.
The Blues are on a two-game losing skid since an impressive four game unbeaten run had many pundits purring about their survival chances.
Shearer himself tipped Town to have the best chance of survival of the three promoted sides at the start of September.
But, previewing today's trip to Brentford via Betfair, he appears to have changed his mind on the Blues.

"Everton used all their experience against Ipswich last week," Shearer opined. "It was a tactical masterclass from Sean Dyche.
"They sort of beat Ipswich up if you like and the know-how to win a game like that showed with the experience that they have.
"It wasn't a good performance from Ipswich at all and they'll have to improve massively.
"I don't see them having enough to survive in this league and I don't see them having enough going to Brentford either.
"Home win."
