Skipper Danny King believes, if his side is to make a late run for the play-offs, they now need to replicate their Foxhall form when they're away.

"We've won all of our home meetings over the last four weeks and confidence is high," he said. "Going to a track like Sheffield, which we all enjoy, there's no reason why we can't come away with a win."

Ipswich Town striker Daryl Murphy believes he can recapture the form that saw him score 27 goals for the club during the 2014/15 campaign.

The Irishman only managed 10 last time out and has had a shorter pre-season due to his involvement at Euro 2016, although he believes that could work in his favour. 

"I went straight into training sessions and got away with all the running!" Murphy joked. "It's obviously different from previous seasons but I feel good. It might suit me."
