Red-hot Gwion Edwards kept Ipswich top of Sky Bet League One after a 2-0 win over Accrington.
The midfielder's fifth goal of the season helped maintain the Tractor Boys' unbeaten start to the campaign.
Freddie Sears also netted as Stanley drop out of the top six after missing a series of chances in the first half, Colby Bishop firing the best wide.
