It’s time to roll our sleeves up.

Ipswich Town boss Roy Keane wants his players to show their character and scramble away from the foot of the Championship.

The Blues are fourth from bottom and just a solitary point above the drop zone, following Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough at Portman Road.

Now they embark on a challenging run of four successive away games – starting with tonight’s date at fellow strugglers Queens Park Rangers.

Keane said: “Our last couple of away performances haven’t been great, at Southampton and Preston.

“But three of the four teams we’re playing are down near the bottom with us, so it’s certainly an important period coming up.

“It’s going to be an interesting few weeks. It’s a test and that’s what life’s about."
