Huws Loving Life at Town - Ipswich Town News

Loanee Emyr Huws says he’s loving life at Town having scored the Blues' winning goal during Saturday’s 1-0 victory at Aston Villa.

The 23-year-old, who took a pay cut to move to Portman Road for the rest of the season from parent club Cardiff City on deadline day, has made an excellent start to his time with the Blues, creating fellow Wales international Tom Lawrence’s opener on his debut as Town drew 2-2 with Reading last week and then scoring the goal which saw the Blues to their first win at Villa Park since 1994 on Saturday.

"I’m loving it, the boys are really good with me, I’ve settled in really quickly,” the Llanelli-born midfielder told Ipswich Player HD.

"I’m loving the place, the atmosphere’s really good and I’m looking forward to the next game.”

Regarding his 83rd minute goal, Huws, who is contracted to the Bluebirds until the summer of 2019, added: "I was just trying my hardest to get in the box and luckily Didz cut the ball back. It was a great cutback and I got on the end of it and it went in. I was buzzing.

"It’s in the back of my mind to try my best to get in the box as much as I can, I timed that one well and luckily it went in.”

Reflecting on the match and the result, he said: "It was a really good win, everyone’s buzzing. A good day at the office.

"I think we soaked up a lot of pressure at the start of the game and were maybe a little fortunate but we stood strong and we gradually got into the game.

"I thought we played well, we dug deep, defended well and fortunately we got the goal that we wanted and saw out the game well. Everyone’s really happy with the three points.

"Defenders, the keeper, everyone on the pitch put in a shift and to keep the clean sheet, especially coming to a place like this, is fantastic, a great performance.

"The boys who came on, Jordan Spence and Myles Kenlock, they did a brilliant job, that just shows how good the squad is.

"They defended well, credit to them, they helped us massively. Everyone put in a massive shift.”

Meanwhile, Town’s U23s are in Premier League Cup action against West Brom at the Hawthorns this evening with Tommy Smith and Luke Hyam both expected to feature (KO 7pm).
