PRE-MATCH | MATTHEW BLOXHAM

Ahead of the match, Matthew Bloxham said: "After the Everton game, we were disappointed to have a break because we had a lot of momentum. Getting back playing on Saturday is something we're all looking forward to. We can't let the break affect us and we have to come back against a strong Ipswich side and maintain the levels that we've previously hit. 

"We try to keep a level of similarity and consistency in what we do and how we play, so in terms of the boys coming back from international duty, the aim is that it's muscle memory. We're confident that our preparation for the game on Saturday will be positive. We've played Ipswich twice and know a lot about them and know they're a good side. 

"The boys that have gone away on international duty, they've gained great experience, but the boys that have stayed have worked hard, so as a squad, we're in a really good place going into the game. 

"Ipswich have been a difficult side to play against in the way they set up. Whilst we want to counter-act their strengths, we want to play to ours and stick to what we believe in and what has got us to the position we're in. As much as we're expecting a test against Ipswich, we want to be brave with the football that we play."
