Town have the second worse defence in the league, with only Wimbledon having conceded more goals, and former Don Kelvin Davis feels that this is his sides biggest problem.
"Our failure to keep clean sheets has already cost us automatic promotion. If we had not conceded the amount of goals we have we would have been challenging the top two." he told the East Anglian Daily Times.
"When we went two goals up we expected to win the game which we did, but we are disappointed not to keep a clean sheet. We lapsed again and although it is something we keep talking about we can't quite get it together.
"On the up side we have won three games on the spin and that is a great record, so it is now time to push on again for the top six.
"We have laid the foundations, now it is up to us. It goes without saying we aim to stop conceding sloppy goals but at the same time if we keep winning games and getting the three points we will be up there."
