Sam Strikes for Top Spot - Ipswich Town News
Summer signing Sam Parkin says he is aiming to open his home goals account and finish the season as the club's top scorer. Parkin has netted twice away from home for the Blues, at QPR and Millwall, but is yet to score at Portman Road.
The former Swindon and Chelsea man told the club site: "I'm an honest, hardworking player and for me this year is all about showing the manager here, the players here and the fans here that I'm capable of playing in Ipswich's first team week-in, week-out.
"I would like to finish top scorer though, I did that at Swindon for three years and I would like to do it here as well.
"I'm not setting myself any targets, but if I can get anywhere near the 20-mark come May, then I will be delighted. If I achieve that, then I'm sure the fans will take to me.
"My two goals have come away from home and it would be nice to show the home fans what I can do in front of goal.
"I scored a lot of goals for Swindon over the last three years and everything went so well for me, the goals flowed.
"At Ipswich I'm an unknown, but I think if everyone is patient with the side then me and Nicky Forster will score goals for this club."
