Jim: We’re Tough Enough

Ipswich Town club captain Jim Magilton believes that the Town squad is physically stronger than the 2000 promotion side.

After completing a double over Sheffield United, who are one of the more physical sides in the championship any one who disagrees with him would need a lot of proof to say other wise.

Jim: “There is a real resilience about this side, a character that the other side possibly didn't have. That team possibly relied more on ability, and that is not to show disrespect to anyone.

“Our back four were different class, and to come away with three points from a place like this is some achievement.

“That could be the difference between getting automatic promotion this time than going up via the play-offs.

“There is still a hell of a long way to go, but we are in a position now where it would be a travesty if we didn't finish top two, but nothing is ever certain in football.”
