Makin Aims for Gunners - Ipswich Town News
Ankle injury victim Chris Makin has set himself a target of being ready for Sunday's game at Arsenal. The ex-Sunderland man injured his ankle in a solid challenge with Villa's Darius Vassell.
Makin says: "It's been a slow business, a very slow business. But I've set a return target for the Arsenal game. It may be touch and go, but that's the target I've set.
"We're in a desperate relegation battle and I'm desperate to be part of it."
He says Town must ignore reputation as they go into the crucial last four games of the season: "We've got to get stuck into them. We've just got to get wired into them no matter how big they are."
