Kennedy: Players Need to Look at Themselves - Ipswich Town News
Mark Kennedy says he and his fellow Town players need to take a “long hard look” at themselves after the Blues’ recent heavy defeats. The former Ireland international apologised to fans for Saturday’s latest thrashing at Peterborough.
Kennedy, a second-half sub at London Road, said: "A club like Ipswich shouldn't be performing like we did at Peterborough and hand on heart that boils down to the players. We all need to have a long hard look at ourselves and start taking responsibility for it.
"It wasn't good enough. We know that, and I think I speak on behalf of the rest of the lads in the dressing room by apologising to the fans and saying that we are determined to get things right."
He added: "Everybody in our dressing room has to appreciate how good our fans are. I've played in teams before where we have been winning at half-time and still been booed off.
"Here the fans have been right behind us in every match and we need to remember just how lucky we are to have fans like that supporting us, and the sooner we realise that, the better.”
Meanwhile, Wolves are the latest club to be linked with a move for Town target Jimmy Bullard, who is expected to become a free agent today after Hull City terminated his contract.
