Van Nistelrooy's Nightmare Start Continues as Ipswich Boss Delivers Sinking Feeling Verdict

The Ipswich manager has sent a stern warning to Ruud van Nistelrooy and his team, stating that the Foxes' struggles can only survive so long on the coat tails of past successes, ultimately stating it is imperative City find their form sooner rather than later.

After securing three vital points with their latest outing, this newly-acquired momentum could serve as a springboard for Kieren McKenna's side to distance themselves further from relegation's jaws. Meanwhile Ipswich Town is sitting on 23 points with 37 matches played.

However, with a mere four-point barrier between City and the Premier league drop zone the relentless McKenna has chosen to take a bold jab at Van Nistelrooy, painting him into Foxes corner when it comes to the doomsday scenario that an additional relegation fight brings.

Both Ipswich Town and City are vying for the limited respite from their combined relentless down-hill runs, their shared relegation woes now well in clear sight given Van Nistelrooy's dire managerial season record, leaving the Dutch tactician grasping at the hope of catching an already stumbling Wolvehampton.

As the fixtures progress and the 'pressure boiler' nears boiling point, every outcome of future matches will undoubtedly prove increasingly significant in City's pursuit to break away from the high-noon show-down that is brewing.
