Jim Magilton is looking for Town to build on the impressive win at Crystal Palace when Blackpool come to Portman Road on Saturday.

A Danny Haynes goal gave Blues a 1-0 win and kept the Club in the top six and victory over the Seasiders tomorrow and defeat for Charlton against Watford would see Town jump into fifth.

"The players were all very disappointed after the Watford game and I told them to use that disappointment as an advantage and take the game to Palace and they did that superbly," says Jim.

"Whatever they threw at us, our defence dealt with it well. Jason and Bam Bam were magnificent at the back, ably supported by Alex Bruce, Dan Harding and Stephen Bywater.

"It was Bam Bam's first start for a year and he grabbed his chance with both hands. His return from injury adds to the competition for places now and I want that all over the pitch.

"The new lads are all settling in well and will be big players for this football club. They have freshened things up a bit in the dressing-room and I don't think it's any coincidence that our results have improved on our travels since they came in and gave us a different perspective on things.

"Now we have to take it from Tuesday against Blackpool and get back on track at home.

"Simon Grayson has done a terrific job at Bloomfield Road and they gave us plenty of problems at their place last month.

"We know if we are not switched on, they will punish us so we have to be on our game but it's a match that we are looking forward to.

"There is a buzz about the place and we have to keep that going."
