REDS boss Mark Robins gave his thoughts ahead of the trip to Ipswich Town.

Mark told Barnsley Player: "We will be without Carl Dickinson again tomorrow for the game at Ipswich. Carl has returned to Stoke City and will have an exploratory operation on his knee next week to determine the extent of the injury. We will find out more then but it is probably looking like he will miss the rest of the season.

"It looks as though we are saying goodbye to Carl and hopefully it will not be a serious problem. It is a blow for Carl and a blow for us because he has been great during his time here. He obviously goes back with our best wishes and hopefully we will see him again soon.

"Luke Potter has come into the side and done very, very well for us. We have to decide whether to bring someone in on loan - and that normally means that their club wants them to play - or look to our own. I think our squad is big enough, barring any injuries, and we want to give our own players the opportunity. That is certainly the case with Luke.

"Darren Moore is back in the squad this weekend after being away on compassionate leave, which is good news, and Rob Kozluk is also nearing the end of his rehab programme. Rob could be back in with us next week so, although the next two matches might be too soon, he could be back after then.

"Although safety in this division was our primary target when we came in, that is not good enough for me. I want to us to kick on and win as many games out of the final ten as we can. If anyone thinks it is job done then they are sadly mistaken.

"Ipswich are a different proposition at Portman Road and I went to watch their match against Cardiff City last week when they played very well. They have only lost two matches there all season and do not concede many goals. They have had a lot of draws but are not a bad side and they have some very good players.

"We need to be focussed and ready for them. We cannot afford to have our minds on anything else apart from Ipswich. My players are professional and we want to finish the season properly. I want us to go out and see what we can achieve. There is still the opportunity to do something pretty special this season.

"We have had a great spell up until now and we have to make sure that we finish the season off in the same way".
