Sheepy Optimistic

Ipswich Town chairman David Sheepshanks is optimistic that Town will have a good season and that the Town academy will play a part in it.

Town have had an indifferent start to the new season, winning one, drawing one and losing one collecting four points and scoring two goals.

Sheepshanks: “Watching young players like Shane Supple and Owen Garvan brings a glow to my cheeks and we have quality youngsters coming through. There is plenty to get excited about and lots of potential.

“I am cautiously optimistic. It's a case of so far, so good, although nothing is being taken for granted. There is plenty of pressure on us to keep performing and if we can win our home matches, and draw at places like Leicester, we will not go far wrong.

“With a fully fit central defender at QPR I am sure we would have earned at least a point and would still be undefeated.”
