DAVID Wright insists there is every reason' to back Ipswich Town for a top-six finish in the Coca-Cola Championship.

The Blues are seventh in the table - three points behind sixth-placed Crystal Palace - after Saturday's dramatic 1-1 draw at Wolverhampton Wanderers.

With just two games left, the pressure is on but defender Wright said: "We're driving each other on and fighting together and that means we're hard to beat.

"Our shape is right and I still believe we can finish in the top six.

"There's no point worrying about what other clubs might do.

"We have to go out and claim six more points and there's every reason to believe that will be enough."

Meanwhile, as at the weekend, all eyes will be on Molineux again tonight as play-off rivals Wolves play their game in hand at home to Cardiff.

If they win, they will go a point above Town heading into their match at Coventry City on Saturday.

Palace have a tough weekend fixture at Hull City, who the Blues entertain on the final day of the season, next Sunday.

Palace are at home to Burnley that day while Wolves entertain Plymouth.
