The Blues host Huddersfield Town live on Sky Sports in their biggest match for 22 years on Saturday, knowing a point will take them back to the Premier League (KO 12.30pm).
Town have all but confirmed promotion back to the Championship after four years away after romping to a remarkable 5-0 half-time lead over Exeter at Portman Road, Conor Chaplin netting twice, and Massimo Luongo, George Hirst and Nathan Broadhead, a penalty, one each.
Ipswich Town confirmed promotion to the Championship in style by romping to a 6-0 victory over Exeter City at Portman Road. The Blues raced to a remarkable 5-0 half-time lead, Conor Chaplin netting twice, and Massimo Luongo, George Hirst and Nathan Broadhead, a penalty, one each, before Wes Burns added the sixth in the second half as the Blues ended their four-year stay in League One in front of a delighted sell-out crowd.
Town boss Kieran McKenna says he wants to send fans home from Saturday’s final game of the campaign against Charlton Athletic with a positive feeling but doesn’t see the match as having much significance on the start of next season.
Goals from Wes Burns, Conor Chaplin and Freddie Ladapo saw Town to a 3-0 victory over Peterborough, their first ever league success at London Road. Burns gave Town, who remain second, now needing five points for promotion, the lead in the 17th minute, Chaplin added the second on 57 and Ladapo made it three with eight minutes left on the clock.
