Ipswich Town are now settled in the Championship and close to “clicking”, says attacking midfielder Sammie Szmodics.<\/p>\n
Town travel to Bristol City on Tuesday (19:45 BST) on the back of successive wins for the first time since May 2024, following a tough year in the Premier League last season.<\/p>\n
“I think once the transfer window shut, it settled everyone because you now know who you are competing with,” Szmodics told BBC Radio Suffolk.<\/a><\/p>\n “When you look at the squad, it is a top squad and we are moments away from clicking.<\/p>\n “We have all got our heads around what the manager wants to do when it comes to bringing on players and so as an attacking player you know what is going to happen when it gets to 65 minutes.”<\/p>\n The 30-year-old has struggled on and off with injuries since joining Ipswich last summer but managed the full 90 minutes in Saturday’s 2-1 win<\/a> against Portsmouth. <\/p>\n “I have had a niggly ankle injury with my deltoid ligament,” Szmodics added. “I am still managing it every day with strappings and a bit of work [but] I am able to get through 90-minute games, so I’m happy.<\/p>\n “Injuries are tough, absolutely. I have never had an injury like this before in my entire career. I turned 30 not long ago and I have never really struggled with an injury so it is new to me, but I am managing it.”<\/p>\n
