Ipswich ran away with a 3-0 victory over Doncaster,who could now end up going through the month without a win and facing a real relegation threat.
The first goal came from an unsuprising figure in the shape of prolific forward DAVID McGOLDRICK.A corner was well sent into the box by captain Luke Chambers and the 25-year-old former Nottingham Forest man powered a header into the net with 25 minutes gone.Ross Turnbull didn't even move.
Ipswich didn't stop there and it seemed as though Doncaster had already waved the white flag.Ryan Tunnicliffe's pacy advance on the defence was only just cleared by Paul Quinn and Franck Nouble only just headed wide from another corner.The corners,however,were to be the Achilles heel of Doncaster.LUKE CHAMBERS was the one who headed home another corner with 15 minutes before the break.
Before the break,Duffy's free kick hit the crossbar and Dean Gerken cleared the ball to the flanks.
The second half was only 5 minutes old when McGOLDRICK tripled the lead with a close finish under Ross Turnbull.Tunnicliffe passed to Skuse who found McGoldrick to put the cherry on top.
On the hour mark,Ipswich pressed again.McGoldrick headed over from a few yards out and Franck Nouble was flagged offside despite scoring from a pass.
Desperation kicked in when Doncaster broke forward.Richie Wellens had his shot cleared by Aaron Cresswell and then it was left to Chambers to get rid of the ball for the attack.Duffy also missed an opportunity.
Close to the end of stoppage time,Paul Taylor(who'd replaced McGoldrick) missed a good chance.
VIEWS FROM THE DRESSING ROOM
DONCASTER BOSS PAUL DICKOV
"We are extremely upset with ourselves due to the way the game panned out.We weren't good enough and below par yet again."
"Ipswich are a team who can perform well.They have good talent in their side and we knew they were on a good run of form in the Champioship.I was incredibly frustrated by the goals because I wanted us to at least show some fight."
"We are missing key players which affects us as well.We try to get by but it may not be enough in the long run."
IPSWICH MIDFIELDER COLE SKUSE
"The team are now in the top six and the gaffer has said that is the place we ought to be.The fans shouldn't be surprised by that because of our form.A great performance aids a good win and it did today."
