Norris: We\'re Moving in the Right Direction - Ipswich Town News
Midfielder David Norris insists that the Blues are heading in the right direction despite Saturday’s defeat at Nottingham Forest. The former Plymouth man felt Town performed better at the City Ground than they had during previous losses away from home.
Norris said: "Forest up there for a reason, and that showed [on Saturday]. They are where we want to be. Forest are one of the better teams, but there are better times ahead for us.
"It was a better defeat than when we lost to Watford and Plymouth. We were beaten by a good team, after giving a good account of ourselves for 45 minutes or so. Against Watford and Plymouth, we were terrible.
"We‘re on a decent run, and giving our fans hope for next season. We are heading in the right direction, so there is something to look forward to.”
Meanwhile, a newspaper in the North-East claims that Sunderland will target Connor Wickham in the summer, offering loanees Daryl Murphy and David Healy as part of a proposed deal. Given that Wickham signed a two-year professional deal committing himself to the Blues last week, the story appears to be total fantasy.
