LEAGUE ONE

IPSWICH manager Paul Lambert believes his table- toppers are showing the stomach for a promotion fight.

Gwion Edwards took his goal tally to five for the season in the 2- 0 victory over Accrington,

with Freddie Sears adding the second.

The Tractor Boys are unbeaten with five wins from six and Lambert said: “I’m really happy, it’s been a brilliant start. The performanc­es have been really high.”

Hull are second after a 3- 0 victory at Rochdale,

with Mallik Wilks grabbing a brace.

Tigers boss Grant McCann felt the win, rounded off by Josh Magennis, was the perfect reply after the 4- 1 defeat at Fleetwood last time out. “We wanted to respond in the right

way and we’ve done that,” he said.

Peterborou­gh beat

Oxford 2- 0 to move into fourth but boss Darren Ferguson wants more.

“We’re not anywhere near the level we can reach,” he claimed.

It was a fourth defeat in five league games for Oxford and manager Karl Robinson said: “The players know the results aren’t good enough.”

Sunderland are a point behind Peterborou­gh in fifth after a 2- 0 win at

Swindon left boss Phil Parkinson beaming. He said: “That was what we want from the lads.”

Shrewsbury picked up their first victory with an injury- time header from Leon Clarke downing

AFC Wimbledon 1- 0.

Blackpool drew 1- 1 at Crewe while Doncaster won 1- 0 at Portsmouth.
