After going on a four-game winless run in all competitions across January and February, Ipswich got back on track with successive away-wins over Millwall and Swansea with an aggregate scoreline of 6-1. The Tractor Boys secured their 19th Championship victory of the campaign at the Swansea.com on Saturday thanks to one effort each from Nathan Broadhead and Conor Chaplin either side of Jerry Yates’ equaliser. Seven points from a possible nine has helped Kieran McKenna’s side to move within touching distance of the top two (automatic qualification spots). Meanwhile, Ipswich have now won nine of their 17 away-fixtures in the Championship this season.
Rotherham, on the other hand, suffered their 19th Championship defeat of the campaign against Watford at the weekend courtesy of Yaser Asprilla’s lone goal in the 58th-minute. It was the Millers’ fourth successive defeat, while they are now winless in their last nine outings in all competitions, with their last success coming on the Boxing Day against Middlesbrough. Meanwhile, on a positive note, Rotherham earned a 2-2 draw versus Ipswich in the reverse fixture at New York Stadium back in November last year.
