Ipswich Town: Cameron Burgess on hunt for for first win

For the second straight week there was heartbreak for Town as they conceded a 94th minute leveller against Leicester City at Portman Road on Saturday.

The draw, coming a week after a dramatic late defeat at Brentford, leaves Town winless after their first ten games and sitting in the drop zone with just five points.

But Australian international Burgess said: “It’s not for the want of doing the right things, for the most part.

“I think we’ve been in a lot of games. It’s a difficult league – we knew that coming in.

“We’ve put in a good number of performances now, so there’s positives to take and we have to build on that.

“We know the job at hand, which is to put points on the board, so hopefully when we can get that first win, it’ll just be the start.”

Indeed, of the 18 sides in Premier League history which have been winless after ten games, just five have managed to stay up.

But Burgess stressed that things are far from desperate at Portman Road.

“My view is that football, it’s tough to get results, especially at this level when we’ve just come up" he explained.

“I think it’s a case of controlling what we can control and building on what we’ve built so far.

“Urgency is probably the wrong word. We’re desperate for the first win, but not for the wrong reasons.

"It’s not that we’re in a desperate state, but we’re still learning the league and still in a process of developing and improving.

“I think that’s what we have to look at and keep on with that at this moment in time. It’ll stand us in good stead.”
