Ipswich Town star Dara O'Shea says there is much better to come from the Blues as they bid to climb out of relegation trouble.

As it stands, Town find themselves two points from safety, with a daunting run of games coming up - starting with a trip to Arsenal tomorrow night (8.15pm, Amazon Prime).

But O'Shea, who's started 14 top tier games for the Blues since arriving from Burnley in the summer, says the squad still believe they can escape the drop.

“The position we’re in at the moment is down the wrong end of the table but I think there’s so much more to come from us," he insisted.

“Especially from the club as well, the club has grown so much too. It’s really exciting to be a part of this, so I’d say first and foremost for myself is to keep putting in performances, keep playing well and help the group grow.

“That’s been the key word that’s been used in the last few weeks – belief and just believing in what we can do. We see it in games and it’s not something that we haven’t seen already, there’s been really promising moments and great moments."

Town will certainly need to lean heavily on that self-belief over the next few weeks.

But O'Shea stressed: “It’s just believing in ourselves and knowing that we have enough because we do have enough.

"It’s a long season but the games do run out, it’s just believing that the points are going to come and that the performances will keep showing.

“That’s how we train every day. It’s always there to improve, we’re not just going through the paces out in training to tick another day off, it’s trying to improve, get better and trying to get to that end goal where we want to be.”
