Beattie Praise for Naylor - Ipswich Town News
Legendary Town centre-half Kevin Beattie has praised Richard Naylor for his recent performances. Naylor and Jason De Vos have helped the Blues to three clean sheets in the last four games.
Beattie said: "I am proud to see my number six shirt being worn by Richard Naylor.
"He has not made a mistake in recent games and is forming a terrific defensive barrier with partner Jason De Vos.
"While Naylor and De Vos have done their bit, Joe and his staff have obviously worked their magic on the training ground.
"Defending, and the number of goals being conceded, was a problem but the back four looks to be in excellent shape now."
