Interim manager David Wright praised his side after a 4-1 win over Sheffield United lifted Ipswich Town Women out of the relegation zone. The victory snapped a three‑match losing streak and moved the club to 10th place, three points clear of bottom‑placed Portsmouth with two games remaining. Goals from Kenzie Weir, Sophie Peskett (two) and Maria Boswell secured the comeback.

Wright noted the squad’s recent improvement, saying they finally executed the attacking patterns drilled in training. He admitted finishing chances has been a lingering issue, but the added composure in the final minutes reflected the hard work put in over the past weeks. The side’s promotion from the third tier last season makes every point vital in this survival battle.

With a trip to league leaders Birmingham City looming, Ipswich can clinch safety by earning at least a point while hoping Portsmouth falters against Nottingham Forest. A draw would leave them perched just above the drop zone, ending a season that began with only one win in eleven. Securing survival would validate Wright’s tactical adjustments and give the club a platform for next season.
