Magilton Calls for Unity - Ipswich Town News

Boss Jim Magilton has called on fans to play their part as the Blues look to reverse their recent slump. The Town manager has called for unity as his side enter a vital phase of the season.

Magilton told the club site: "I know it's down to the players, the coaching staff and myself to end the spell of results we are having.

"We know we have to turn the corner and start winning games again, and I can fully understand the frustrations everyone is feeling at the moment. I can assure you no one is more frustrated than myself.

"We're all working very hard on the training ground to put things right, but at times like these - and they happen in football - you have to stand together.

"I've been in this situation as a player and now I'm experiencing it for the first time as a manager and it's hard, but I have total belief in myself and in my players.

"We have to stand up and be counted now. There's some negativity in the air but we have to deal with that and overcome it.

"The players are desperate to put on a show for the fans on Saturday, score some goals and win the game. I can see how desperate they are to win and everyone connected to the club - the fans and the staff - can play their part and get right behind the players.

"The fans have been magnificent this season and my players need them right now. They can lift them but we are fully aware that we have to give the supporters a lift as well."
