Miller Looking Forward to Return With Wednesday - Ipswich Town News

Former Blue Tommy Miller says he’s looking forward to returning to Portman Road with Sheffield Wednesday a week on Saturday. Miller was a youth player with the Blues, then returned for two spells as a professional before leaving on a free Bosman transfer last summer.

Miller said: "I had six years down there in two different spells. It's a great place, a good football club and I made a lot of friends so I'm looking forward to going back.

"Roy Keane's brought in a lot of players and a lot have gone out. They haven't started the season as well as they would have liked, but it does take time. I'm sure it will be tough game.

"They haven't lost for five games and got that first win under the belt against Derby. They will want the points from us but likewise we want the points from them."

The Owls’ visit to Portman Road is a 5.20pm kick-off with Sky showing the game live.

Meanwhile, midfielder Carlos Edwards says he was impressed with the travelling Town fans at the Madejski Stadium: "The support we had at Reading was amazing, as it has been in all the games I have been involved with here.

"It opened my eyes to see how much they are behind us, and as players we have to take on board their commitment and sacrifices they make in travelling up and down the country to see us play.

"We have an obligation to entertain them and give them something to smile about and hopefully we can do that over the rest of the season."

Elsewhere, former Blue Mauricio Taricco says he didn’t have to be asked twice before taking up the role of assistant manager at Brighton, working under his former Spurs team-mate Gus Poyet: "I was living abroad [in Sardinia] when Gus called me. I said yes straight away. "I'm looking forward to learning from him and helping him to pass his ideas on to the players.

"He is a man who wants to do it his way. He's got a different personality to mine. He's more uplifting and more positive, whereas I'm a little more quiet.

"We are two people who are honest with each other and we understand each other very well. I'm delighted to be working with a person like him."
