Nouble Benefiting From Playing Regularly
Friday, 7th Mar 2014 06:00

Frank Nouble believes there is a simple reason for the improvement in his game — he is playing more regularly with Town than at any of his previous clubs.

The fit-again striker heads for Middlesbrough tomorrow on the back of 15 starts and a further 17 substitute appearances, meaning he has been involved in all but four of the club’s fixtures in the current campaign.

Nouble, 22, said: “I’m enjoying it and I think we have had a good year. The more games I play, the better, because it’s hard when you are in and out of the side. My aim has always been to ensure that when I get my chance I make the most of it.”

The London-born player made a telling contribution in last week’s home defeat of Birmingham City, providing the low cross from which Daryl Murphy netted the all-important goal to ensure another three points for Town in their bid to claim a play-off place.

He added: “In the Birmingham match I played with freedom and it was enjoyable until I felt my hamstring and was taken off. It was the right thing to do, come off.

“I was worried that if I stayed on and did a few sprints it would take longer than a few days to get better. When I came off I went straight down the tunnel to get some ice on it.

“I thought I did alright in the game, so long may it continue. I enjoy it every time I’m on the pitch but obviously I want to stay in the team and play as often as possible.

“It’s down to me to stake my claim and my aim is to stay in the starting line-up right through to the end of the season.”

bohslegend added 07:18 - Mar 7 Well done Frank! Good game v Brum. Only 22 years old lets not forget. It is true, the long term benefit of giving him games is that he will keep improving. It would have been easy for most people to want him sacrficed earlier this season, but to give MM credit for not lookin for a quick fix, Frank could prove to be a very good signing in the long term.

wkj added 07:38 - Mar 7 I to feel the best is yet to come; his cross to Murphy vs Brum was very good football to provide us with the win. His dribbling and ball control need work to provide better consistency and really hope he is able to make if. On a side note; someone needs to have a word with Tabb, he can be so much better than he has been of late and really has left a lot of question marks

ipswichdave added 09:26 - Mar 7 Nouble has improved, but should be on a very strong bench tomorrow, Nouble, Hunt, Tabb, Anderson, Hyam, Mings and Loach. The strongest bench we have had for many seasons and with Wordsworth, Edwards and Richardson not included.
