IAN Westlake looked ahead to Ipswich Town's promotion dreams and said: “The hard work is still to come.”

The 21-year-old midfield player played a crucial role as the Blues relegated Rotherham and moved three points above third-placed Wigan with a 4-3 victory at Portman Road last night.

Rotherham put up some stern resistance, helped by some below-par Town defending, before Ipswich were able to collect their 13th point from their last five matches.

Sunderland's amazing winning run continued with a 1-0 victory at Wigan and they now look favourites to take one of the two automatic promotion places out of the Championship.

However, they have still to come to Portman Road and the Blues have not given up hope of ending the season champions.
