IPSWICH Town defender Luke Woolfenden is targeting a place in the history books as the Tractor Boys aim to become the first EFL team to rack up 100 points and 100 goals in a league season.
The 24-year-old defender has not given up on the League One title either, although he knows that dream depends on leaders Plymouth failing to secure victory at Port Vale this afternoon.
Woolfenden's double-century goal is within the Suffolk side's control, however, and few would bet against them as they sign off at Fleetwood.
Ipswich go into the final day on 99 goals and 97 points, having scored in each of their last 14 games a run that has witnessed 13 victories and one draw.
It's staggering and testament to Plymouth's efforts - that such statistics still see the Portman Road outfit sitting runners-up with one fixture to play.
Woolfenden told The FLP: "The title is in everyone's thoughts and we really want to win it, although we know it's not in our hands and we'll have to rely on another result.
