DOZZELL: WE HAVE TO DO IT OUR WAY
The Football League Paper
|October 18, 2020
HAVING followed in his father’s footsteps by scoring on his Ipswich Town debut aged just 16, Andre Dozzell knows all about the importance of keeping your feet on the ground.
And that is exactly what the midfielder, now 21, is urging his Tractor Boys teammates to do as they look to escape League One at the second attempt.
Dozzell, the son of Town legend Jason, has had a stop-start career since his memorable bow at Hillsborough in April 2016 – not helped by an ACL injury sustained at the beginning of the 2017/18 season.
Going into yesterday’s clash against Accrington, however, Dozzell had played every minute of Ipswich’s league campaign – and helped his side to the League One summit with four wins and a draw from their opening five matches.
Paul Lambert’s men are all too aware that a good start means little if it cannot be maintained, having slipped out of the play-off places last season following a dramatic loss of form, but Dozzell believes his side are better equipped to stay the course this time around.
