Bullard: I've Got Something to Prove - Ipswich Town News

Midfielder Jimmy Bullard says he’s got something to prove after a disappointing first full season with the Blues. The 33-year-old, Town’s Player of the Year when on loan in the second half of last season, is back in training after a sinus problem, which came soon after his two-week club suspension for being late to training after a night out in Newcastle.

Speaking in an interview in Saturday’s programme, in which he also explains the background to his recent medical issues, Bullard said: "I do feel as if I've got something to prove.

"This season hasn't worked out as I would have liked it to and I'm itching to get back in. I want to get out there and show everybody what I can do.

"I'm one of these players who hates not being involved and being out of the side has been tough to take. The boys have been flying since January so it's been hard to get back in, but fair play to them they are doing the business.

"The worse thing for me is watching rather than playing on a Saturday afternoon, it's a real killer."

An online electronic version of Saturday’s programme is available here as well as the paper version at the game.
