Ipswich Star Expects Physical Test Against Burton

 

Paul Lambert’s men won all five of their opening league games at home but saw the tables turned after losing the next three Portman Road outings in a row.

 

Ipswich fell to 2-0 defeat at home in their latest League One clash against Portsmouth at the weekend and will be keen to bounce back with a win when they host league bottom side Burton on Tuesday night.

 

 

The Brewers are unbeaten in their last four league games and McGuiness is expecting a tough physical approach from the visitors in the encounter, with the centre-back urging his team-mates to step up to the challenge.

 

Portman Road will again host 2,000 fans on Tuesday and the 19-year-old insists his team need to win for the fans and regain their home form by sending back Button empty-handed. 

 

 

“We had a good start to the season at home, and it can make a big difference over the course of the season”, the central defender told Ipswich’s official site.

 

“Our start to games must improve.

 

 

“The first goal in games is vital and we’ve conceded too many in the early stages.

 

“I’m expecting Burton to be a test and I think it will be a physical match – we have to be up for it.

 

“We need to get the home form back on track and that has to start tomorrow.

 

“The fans will be back at Portman Road again and we need to perform and give them something to cheer.

 

“It’s down to us.”

 

Ipswich are still just three points away form the automatic promotion spots, Lincoln City occupying the second place in the standings with 32 points along with leaders Hull City, but the table toppers have played one game fewer than Lambert’s men.
