Keane Looking to End on a High Note - Ipswich Town News
Boss Roy Keane says he wants the Blues to end the season on a high when Sheffield United come to Portman Road on Sunday (KO 1pm). The Town manager says more of the club’s youngsters may be given a run-out against the Blades.
Keane told the club site: "Our fans have been magnificent this season. We have not given them much to shout about this year but hopefully we can finish the season on a winning note with three points against Sheffield United.
"One of the positives from this season has been the progress of one or two of our younger players.
"Connor has obviously made great strides forward. Shane O'Connor has come in and done well and Billy Clark has had a look in our last two games. One or two of the other youngsters may get a chance on Sunday as well."
Keane has been back in Ireland today launching the Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind’s Shades fundraising campaign. The Blues boss, who is a patron of the charity, also gave a lengthy interview with TV3, which can be viewed here.

McKenna: An Inevitable DecisionTown boss Kieran McKenna says it was an ‘inevitable decision’ for referee Stephen Martin to abandon the Blues’ match at Blackburn Rovers and expects to return to Ewood Park to restage the contest.
Blackburn Rovers 1-0 Ipswich Town - Match AbandonedTown look set to face a return trip to Blackburn Rovers later in the season after this afternoon’s game was abandoned after 80 minutes due to a waterlogged pitch with the home side 1-0 up and with the Blues down to 10 men. Jacob Greaves was shown a straight red card four minutes after the break for hauling down Yuki Ohashi, then Rovers skipper Todd Cantwell netted a penalty on 59, but the heavy rain had made the game increasingly farcical the longer it progressed and in the 80th minute referee Stephen Martin took the players off and then 25 minutes later abandoned it entirely.
