Destiny is in Town's own hands
WITH all seven teams below them in the Championship still to play in the remaining 13 games, Ipswich Town's destiny is very much in their own hands.Once they get the difficult trip to old manager George Burley's Southampton out of the way on Saturday, and hopefully the goal dam will have burst in that match, the Blues go into March with QPR, Hull, Southend and Luton to play, with a trip to Preston and home to Plymouth in between.

WITH all seven teams below them in the Championship still to play in the remaining 13 games, Ipswich Town's destiny is very much in their own hands.
Once they get the difficult trip to old manager George Burley's Southampton out of the way on Saturday, and hopefully the goal dam will have burst in that match, the Blues go into March with QPR, Hull, Southend and Luton to play, with a trip to Preston and home to Plymouth in between.
QPR in particular are beset with problems off the pitch and there are suggestions that John Gregory's position is already in jeopardy, although his chairman has backed him.
Steve Tilson's Shrimpers enjoyed a resurgence in January and early February, although losses at Sunderland and home against Crystal Palace on Tuesday have seen them stay in the bottom three.
Luton have been just about keeping their head above water and sit just three points behind Town in 19th place in the Championship table today.

By the time Ipswich go to Carrow Road in April both East Anglian clubs could be in desperate need of points to avoid relegation and, with Leeds to follow the following week for the Blues, it could well be the proverbial six-pointer.
