JVD: Not Easing Off

Ipswich Town defender Jason De Vos believes that Town will not ease of the pedal as the season reaches its climax.

De Vos who was part of the Wigan side that won the second division title a year and a half ago believes the same thing that kept Wigan going is pushing Town as well.

De Vos: “We had a 14-point gap at Wigan but we kept thinking 'if Cardiff win all their matches and we lose such and such, we won't do it', and that is what partially drives you on.

“It is the same here at Ipswich, and that fear of someone winning all their games is driving us on.

“Until it is mathematically impossible to be caught, we will never relax, no matter what the lead is.

“It is the same with Chelsea, if they lose two or three in a row that gap could become three points, and then they have Manchester United to play, so the Chelsea players will be saying 'it is not over yet' and it is the same at Ipswich.

“We have 15 games to go, and we know if we win most of them then we should be okay.

“Regardless of what other teams do, we will be there. Wigan and Sunderland have tough fixtures but it won't be easy, if it was easy everyone would be doing it.

“So fear is driving us on.”
