Boss Jim Magilton has hit out at what he says is a "negative attitude†from the local press and says he is convinced that he's the man to manage the Blues. Earlier today the Town boss walked out of a press conference, angered by questions about a recent meeting with players (a transcipt of the press conference can be found here.
Magilton told the club site: "We have been indifferent so far and no one is more frustrated about that than the players and myself.
"It's a marathon though, not a sprint and I know that if we can get a few wins behind us and build up some momentum then we will fly.
"The way the game is now, everyone wants instant success and think they are entitled to that success but it doesn't work like that.
"The Championship is a very hard league to get out of and the only way to achieve it is to work harder than everyone else. I've got a fantastic staff who are doing that and an honest bunch of players who are determined to get to the Premier League.
"I know I have my critics out there. I knew that would be the case when I came into the job. It goes with management, but I have total self-belief that I'm the right man for this club and can take us forward.
"I think the people of East Anglia want this club to do well and the players are desperate to get to the Premier League and it would be nice if we received some support from the local press, but that doesn't seem to be case.
"You would think that your papers would want to back their local club but they have been nowhere near 100%.
"I can accept criticism when we have not performed well but at the moment everything we do is jumped upon with a negative attitude. A meeting with seven or eight players a few weeks ago has become a storm in a tea cup with talk of disharmony in the camp.
"It's a load of old rubbish. I had a meeting behind closed doors yesterday, but that wasn't reported, was it? Disharmony to me is when we can't string three passes together.
"Still, we move on. What I do know is that everyone here is united in their determination to get to where we want to be and we will get there in the end."
Magilton says he saw Saturday's opponents Coventry in action against Charlton a week ago: "I watched them against Charlton and they did a very professional job.
"They played well and deserved to win the game. They have good players and we know it will be a difficult game for us, as every one is in this division but we are relishing the challenge."
