Ipswich Town midfielder Jack Taylor admits the Blues know they are close to realising a dream - but insists the players are laser-focused on what they need to do.
Four points from two games is all that separates Town from back-to-back promotions and a remarkable step up into the Premier League.

They head to Coventry tonight (8pm) before returning home on Saturday to host Huddersfield (12.30pm) in the final match of the season.
The ultimate prize of the Premier League is so close - but Taylor knows there is still work to be done.
"You can’t get carried away because you’ve seen in the past that it can affect teams mentally," the midfielder insisted.
“We’re bang on it, we’re back in training today and we’ll be ready for tomorrow night.”
He added: "We know what’s on the line and we’re going to go for the win like we’ve done all season - whether it’s away at Elland Road, which didn’t work out like we wanted it to, but we’ve gone into every game wanting to win, not trying to get points or whatever.
“As long as we stick to our system and our principles, I think we’ll definitely get the job done.
"It’s that stage of the season now where it’s so in our hands. It’s not like we’ve got five games to go and need a certain amount of wins, we’re down to two and we can’t really afford to lose.
“But we’re going to go into both games wanting to win both and end on how many points that leaves us on.
“It’s a special group, special players and we’re just so looking forward to playing.”
Asked if he'd dared to dream about winning promotion, the 25-year-old said: "It will obviously be special and to be honest it’s probably worked out better – rather than sealing the deal away at Coventry, we can do it at home in front of our supporters, that have been with us all season.
“Yeah, it will be special – but we’ve got to stay level-headed and know that we’ve got a very important game tomorrow night.”
Much has been written about Town's band of brothers in Blue, their unshakeable self-belief and never say die attitude.

Asked about what makes the group so special, Taylor replied: "It’s easy to say, but we take every game as it comes – we don’t look beyond the game that’s coming up.
“Training each day and every week, we push each other so hard and the resilience in the squad – I’ve been in promotion sides before, but there’s something special about this team.
“Obviously the first team ever to go back-to-back 90 points, that’s not a fluke, which people were saying earlier on in the season.
“We’ve just got such a strong squad, especially now we’ve got an almost fully fit squad for the run-in, which is rare but full credit to everyone behind the scenes.”
That bond was evident again in the wild 3-3 draw at Hull City on Saturday, with the players responding after a mix-up between Vaclav Hladky and skipper Sam Mosy led to the Tigers' first equaliser.
"We’ve always got each other’s backs," Taylor stressed. "Listen, everyone’s going to make mistakes, whether it leads to a goal or it doesn’t..
“The goal we conceded on Saturday, the equaliser, that’s how we wanted to play. If we get out of that situation there then we’ve broken the press and we’re attacking the back four.
“These things happen. It’s football, and we recovered well. They didn’t get a spell after that, so it shows the resilience we have in the squad and the dominance we have in games.”
