Willie's Top Two Target - Ipswich Town News
Willie Donachie, Joe Royle's assistant manager, says that a top two finish is still not beyond Town despite the recent downturn in form.
The former Scotland full-back told the club site: "At our best, we can beat any team in this division, there is no doubt about that.
"I think we have a good set of players here and my personal opinion is that we don't need to add much to the squad in terms of new players.
"The base here is as good as any in the First Division, if not better, and a top two place is still a definite target. But we have to improve the level of performance in our game if we are going to achieve that.
"We have had to change the team around too many times this season because of injuries and suspension and that doesn't help but, with 14 games to go, we have to find that consistency to take us up.
"I'm not just talking about match by match, we have to be on our game for the whole 90 minutes as well. There have been many occasions this season where we have lacked that.
"They are a great set of lads here and we are close to being a really good side but the level of consistency must improve."
