Matt Penney believes Ipswich Town are a different side to the one that was humbled 5-2 earlier in the season by Bolton Wanderers and has targeted putting right the wrongs of that encounter.
Wanderers convincingly beat Ipswich earlier in the campaign at Portman Road in one of the best days of the season so far from a Bolton perspective.
Bolton went behind early on thanks to Macauley Bonne's strike, but got back on level terms thanks to Dapo Afolayan.

Eoin Doyle then put Wanderers ahead from the penalty spot, before Ipswich leveled after Bonne's shot went in off Ricardo Almeida Santos.
Afolayan then grabbed his second of the game on the stroke of half-time, before Josh Sheehan added a fourth after the break, as George Johnston netted a fifth to cap off a remarkable game.
The win moved Bolton up to third in League One and saw Ipswich in the relegation zone.
Fast forward to mid-January and Wanderers now sit 18th in the table, with the Tractor Boys 10th at present.
Penney was an unused substitute in that game, but Ipswich now have a new boss in the form of Kieran McKenna following his move from Manchester United after Paul Cook's departure.
And Penney is aiming to make is three wins on the spin as his side travel to the University of Bolton Stadium, admitted that the Tractor Boys have had 'better days' than the 5-2 thrashing and has targeted putting the right the wrongs of that day.
Penney told TWID : “We’ve had two great wins but there’s a saying in football that the most important game is your next one.
“We have to build on what we have achieved in the last two and look to win again at Bolton. It’s vital that we carry on picking up points to nudge us closer to the play-offs.
“I didn’t play against Bolton earlier in the season but put it this way, we’ve had better days than that one.
“Nobody likes losing so convincingly at home but I think we’re a different side now and we’ll be looking to right a few wrongs up there.
“If we can play as well as we did to beat both Wycombe and Gillingham I think we’ll have a great chance.”
