Ipswich Town star Conor Chaplin insists there's no time for sulking as the Blues bid to get their season back on track.
Having impressed with a win at Spurs and a rousing home draw with Manchester United, Town have since slipped to three straight defeats in the last week.

They were beaten 1-0 at Nottingham Forest before a flat home loss to Crystal Palace by the same scoreline in midweek.
It looked as though they were going to recover from that with a first home win of the season against Bournemouth on Sunday, but they surrendered two late goals to lose 2-1 in heartbreaking fashion.

But Town head straight back into a big game on Saturday with a visit to fellow strugglers Wolves, who are level on points with the Blues but a place below them in the table on goal difference, sitting 19th.
And Chaplin insisted: “We need to go again straight away. There’s no time to wait, no time to sulk, no time to be gutted about this.
“It’s going to hurt tomorrow but we need to go again and we need to improve. We need to be ready for next Saturday.”

“Before it gets to seeing out the game, score again, like I felt we could have – on the ascendancy, on counterattacks, on good moments that we had.

“Going 2-0 up would help a lot and I feel like we have to focus on that. We’re not the sort of team that’s going to go 1-0 up and defend the whole time, it’s not the way to win a game in the Premier League because anyone can score at any given moment. It’s not the way to go about it.
“When it gets late, we know that we have to protect that lead.
“There are individual things, individual details, second balls. They are hugely important in games like this. Moments and mistakes that we can eradicate, for sure.
“That’s something that we need to keep working on.”
