Ipswich Town midfielder Jim Magilton has hailed the way Town fans at yesterdays match against Plymouth treated him.

The 35-year-old midfielder was expecting a less than warm welcome on to the pitch at Home Park but was instead greeted by a chant of ‘Super Jim Magilton’, some thing that didn’t go unnoticed by the Town captain.

Jim: “That made me feel they have taken to me. It made me think that they realise all players have positives and weaknesses, but it was a lovely gesture and gave me a big boost in confidence.

“It was a great slap on the back and I took it as great compliment. If I know they are there for me, then that is half the battle.

“Perhaps we have had our differences but this helps to show that we are all in it together, players, staff, management, board and fans and that this is going to be our year.”
