After finally recording back to back wins for the first time this campaign, Ipswich Town captain Luke Chambers says the team will be aiming to end a disappointing Championship season in style. 

Good Friday's 2-1 win at Burton Albion was followed up with yesterday's 3-1 win at home to Newcastle - probably Town's best performance of the last 12 months. 

"We are a good enough squad to be nowhere near where we are, but we haven't performed as individuals and as a team," Chambers said. 

"Barring a few lads, if anybody here says they've had a good season then they are not really telling the truth.

"We've taken some stick and we've had people voicing their opinions, and rightly so -because we've not been good enough."

At full time, the boss was quick to jump on any claims that Rafael Benitez's side were below par. 

"I hope all the talk now isn't about Newcastle not playing well," McCarthy said. "It was my team today that played well and they didn't enjoy that.

"We dominated the game and we didn't let them settle. We chased them and harried them and tackled them.

"That's more like my team. That's how we've played here in the past and it's lovely to see it again."

Goals from Freddie Sears (pictured), David McGoldrick and Emyr Huws made it back to back wins for the first time this campaign and guaranteed the Blues' Championship status. 

At full time, Mick McCarthy said the match in general served as a fitting tribute to both clubs' former manager. 

"It was lovely, for him posthumously of course, but also for Lady Elsie and all the family that were here today."

He added: "Sir Bobby must have just sided with us today I think!"

It's a chilly start to the day, with figures in low single figures, and one or two of us do have a few showers, but most of us should see a decent amount of sunshine. 

The further west you are, the drier the day and the more sunshine you'll see,  but you'll still have the chilly north-easterly breeze. 

The showers will mainly affect more easterly parts, and the east coast, but they should die away. 

Top temperature across the region of 12C (54F).

He was Ipswich Town manager from 1969 to 1982 leaving to take over the role for England.
