Town’s last 2 games have been home wins! Well done Town!
Last Saturday Town team beat Middlesborough 3-1 and last night they beat Yeovil 2-1 at Portman Road giving 6 points!(more than the 4 gained through all last month-August).
In both games Town went a goal behind but showed character to come back and win the games. So the point earned with a draw at Birmingham the few weeks earlier (before the international break) did look good! As I have said before IF you can draw away and win at home then you have a good platform to build a good team and get enough points to be in contention for promotion. All at ITFC are agreed the Town squad is far better than it was a year ago and Town must continue to make good progress if we are to challenge for promotion at the end of the season. I think the Town squad is decent but it has been decent for a long while. Character and hard work are vital ingredients and Town squad is beginning to show these so there is a bright future if Town can be consistent and keep improving!
Against Yeovil Darryl Murphy finally scored and hopefully that can give him confidence and he can start to score more in the coming games. Of course the other goal for Town was from a defender,Cresswell and so far the defenders are helping by getting needed goals. All supporters now look for a few goals from some midfielders! Commentators seem to think the Town midfielders lack creativity & they maybe right-but they certainly lack goals! Tunnicliffe and Skuse seem to be playing well and I think Hyam is alright but I want to get more end product from Higham with goals and or assists from him and a bit more going forward rather than defensive midfield. Higham is a good prospect but needs to work hard to develop this season and have a good season. I would like to see Anthony Wordsworth playing as I feel he is the most creative and capable of popping up with assists and goals.
Next match is Wigan away on Sunday…this will be a tough match (but there are no easy games in the Championship). Good luck Town..go for it and work hard and play well and get a point or points with a draw or a win!
COME ON YOU BLUES…. GO TOWN!!!!!!
