Chambo: Supporters Will Expect a Reaction - Ipswich Town News

Skipper Luke Chambers knows that fans will expect him and his team-mates to deliver next season in League One and that the positive mood generated during the final months of 2018/19 won’t last long if results aren’t forthcoming.

"The supporters will expect a reaction when we get going after last season, and rightly so,” Chambers told the club site.""

"I’ve said it before that as players we got away with ‘murder’ last year, with a positive environment about the place even though we weren’t winning games. "

"That won’t last long next season though and we will need players to step up and deliver.

"We will need the younger players to do that and we also need those experienced players who have been there before and know the league to lead the way.

"It’s an opportunity to bounce back at the first time of asking and that has to be our aim.""

"When the players come back for pre-season [on June 24th], I’ll be saying ‘We’re not here to have a fun time. We’re here to win matches and get out of this league’. That will be the message I’ll be saying.”
