Town boss Paul Jewell says he wants to hear more noise from his players during the season ahead. The Blues manager feels the squad he inherited at Portman Road is one of the quietest he has known.
Jewell is yet to name the club’s new captain, although he plays down the importance of the role, believing the everyone needs to be more vociferous: "The choice of skipper is not a big issue but as a squad, we are a quiet team.
"They are one of the quietest teams I have worked with, to be honest, and it is something that we have been working on since we got here.
"Naturally a lot of the players are quiet lads and we're trying to drag that out of them to get them upbeat and noisy because you want leaders on the pitch."
Grant Leadbitter and Lee Bowyer have skippered the side during pre-season, Damien Delaney also wearing the armband for a part of one of the games in Holland.
