Ipswich forward Kayden Jackson reckons they are in a good place heading into Saturday’s trip to Wanderers.

It could prove to be an important fixture in the League One promotion race, with both teams currently in the play-off places.

Ipswich have won four successive league matches following last night’s comfortable 3-0 victory against Accrington at Portman Road.

Jackson was on target against the Reds and insists it was important to build confidence ahead of their clash with the Whites.

“We knew it was an important game to win,” he said. “Momentum has been building and we wanted that feeling going into Saturday.

“We knew we needed the confidence going into a big trip, a big game against Bolton on Saturday.

“I think over the course of the season, there have obviously been disappointing results, but I think in the group we’ve always had that confidence, we’ve always had that belief in ourselves.

“The ones when we’ve slipped up, we’ve been as disappointed as everyone else, but you just manage that disappointment and channel it in the right way.

“The boss (Kieran McKenna) has been unbelievable for that. He has said, ‘don’t get too high when we win’. And then when we lose or when we draw – the disappointing results that we’ve had - he’s said not to get too low.

“We’ve had a good feeling all season and now I think we’re building just at the right time, so hopefully that feeling can help push us into the closing stages.”

The Tractor Boys are now five points off the automatic promotion spots heading into the business stage of the campaign.

“We’re confident as a team, as a group that there’s no game that we go into thinking that we can’t get the win,” Jackson added.

“Obviously, we need to put the work in like we have done over the last four games especially. Hopefully, we can go into that one on Saturday with a good feeling.”

The points were shared when the sides met at Portman Road on the opening day of the season, with Lee Evans cancelling out Aaron Morley’s opener from the penalty spot.
