Miller: Wins Not Draws - Ipswich Town News
Town penalty king Tommy Miller says the Blues must starting turning draws into wins. Miller was on the scoresheet with a spotkick last night as Town drew 1-1 at Nottingham Forest.
The Blues have lost only one of their last eight games, but have drawn five and have won only two. Miller told the club site that this needs to change: "Our results and performances away are certainly moving in the right direction.
"Our form was very disappointing away from home last year but we have been much more solid this season and should have got more points than we have done.
"It's been frustrating because we could have picked up another six points. We had the better of Southampton and Sheffield Wednesday and I thought we shaded it against Forest as well.
"We need to start turning draws into wins. That has to be the next target for us, along with getting back to something like our best at home as well."
Miller has a 100% record from the spot for the Blues, although he did miss one in his Hartlepool days but even then scored with the rebound.
