Ipswich Town boss Jim Magilton has warned his players that they are running out of games in their bid to secure a play-off spot.

The Tractor Boys were held to a 1-1 home draw by Cardiff City on Wednesday evening and Magilton has called on his seventh-placed side to seize the moment.

"These opportunities don't come very often and you need to grasp them," he said.

"We are running out of games. I remember being in this position as a player. You think next week it will happen. You have got to make it happen.

"You have got to put your life on the line for 90 minutes. It's 90 minutes and you have got to show desire to win a game of football.

"I don't want them sitting on the beach in the summer thinking what might have been."
