'A completely dismantled team'

Ipswich captain Sam Morsy speaks about the importance of maintaining perspective and motivation despite recent setbacks as they go into Saturday's game against Newcastle United: "You always have high expectations of yourself and the team, and when you fall below that, it can become challenging, but at the same time, it's good to always keep the perspective if there's still games to play and try and compete and do as best as you can.

"We're going to Newcastle and will try and get something.

"If you give up in these moments, you never get a chance to see the good moments again. So it's going to be a good one, but it's going to be tough one.

"Our three right wingers are all out for the season and injuries everywhere. We're going to need each other. We're going to one of the toughest places in the league with a completely dismantled team.

"For us, it's about expanding, getting better, strengthening the squad in every window, international scouting, all these things. It's part of the process of growing so then you can reach the goal - which is to be a sustainable Premier League club."
