Stringing together a run of wins has been a problem for the Blues this season and they have not won three matches in a row in the league since around the time Paul Cook was appointed manager last term.
Since the arrival of Cook’s successor, Kieran McKenna, the Blues have won four times in six games, boiling down to Burns’ desired two wins in three games.
Burns confirmed that not winning three league games in a row weighs heavily over the side but thinks that their playoff hopes cannot
be given up on.
The Blues star believes that winning two games in three until the end of the season would put them in a good position to reach the playoffs but he also espoused the importance of taking it one game at a time.
Speaking to Ipswich’s official site, Burns said: “It’s the three wins in a row thing that we can’t quite seem to get over at the moment, but it’s just one of those things.
“But we’ve said as a team that if we can win two games in every three between now and the end of the season we’ll be there or thereabouts in terms of the playoffs.
“It would be nice to go on a little run and win a few in a row, but the focus is very much on one game at a time.
“We’re focusing on each specific game, and trying to take three points from every one really.”
If the Blues do manage to collect six points every three games i.e. two points for every match played, they will come up to 75 points at the end of the campaign and in the last three seasons that total has been enough to reach the playoffs.
