Town ace sees brighter future
Ipswich Town, 15:51, April 12, 2010 ,
David Norris feels Ipswich can be fighting it out for promotion next term despite Saturday's 3-1 loss at high-flying Nottingham Forest.
The influential midfielder was fairly pleased with the performance of Roy Keane's side at the City Ground even though they crashed to another away-day defeat. And, after Forest sealed their place in the end-of-season play-offs, Norris can see no reason why Town will not be up there in 12 months' time.
He said: "Forest are up there for a reason, and that showed [on Saturday]. They are where we want to be. Forest are one of the better teams, but there are better times ahead for us.
"It was a better defeat than when we lost to Watford and Plymouth. We were beaten by a good team, after giving a good account of ourselves for 45 minutes or so. Against Watford and Plymouth, we were terrible.
"We're on a decent run, and giving our fans hope for next season. We are heading in the right direction, so there is something to look forward to."
