Boss Roy Keane says he will be looking to add to his striking ranks when the transfer window opens in January. The Town manager feels the Blues have found goals hard to come by throughout his time at Portman Road.
Keane says he’ll have to look at bringing in loan or permanent attacking signings in the new year: "I think I’ve been more than loyal to the strikers. I think Rory Fallon actually did quite well for us last week, a boy just coming in on loan. Jason started and Priskin came off the bench last weekend.
"But we still don’t score enough goals. That’s not necessarily down to your strikers, but it does help if one or two of your strikers are more of a goal threat. When they get the chances they’ve got to take them.
"I watch matches every week and teams get half the chances we get and it’s in the back of the net, whereas we seem to get four or five chances and even then don’t take them. And unless you put the ball in the back of the net, you’re going nowhere.”
The Town manager says he is yet to hold talks regarding the January budget and targets, although chief executive Simon Clegg has already confirmed that funds will be available: "Every window that we have gone into we have invested in the playing squad and I don't see that changing in January.
"If the manager wants to bring in players in January then he will have the opportunity to do that."
