Ipswich Town have recorded a comfortable 2-0 half-time lead over Doncaster Rovers at the Keepmoat Stadium this afternoon.
The Tractor Boys, aiming to extend their five-match unbeaten run, started the brighter and could have taken a 1-0 lead inside three minutes.
Darly Murphy, who has hit six Championship goals this season, cut inside Yun Suk-Young before watching his drilled effort cannon off the legs of goalkeeper Ross Turnbull.
The visitors grew stronger as the half aged and Mick McCarthy's men forged another opening.
Frank Nouble was released down the right-hand side courtesy of a flicked header from David McGoldrick, only for the former Chelsea youth to screw his effort well wide of the target.
However, Town would not have long to wait before seeing their dominance pay dividends, as McGoldrick rose highest to head home an Aaron Cresswell corner on 24 minutes.
Six minutes later Ipswich doubled their lead through Luke Chambers, who got on the end of a Ryan Tunnicliffe cross to thump his header past Turnbull on the half-hour mark.
The hosts came close to clawing one back shortly before the interval, as goalkeeper Dean Gerken tipped a Mark Duffy free kick onto the crossbar, but it was as close as Paul Dickov's men would come to halving the deficit in the opening 45 minutes.
