After returning from injury, Drissa struggled to make any kind of positive impact on the clubs fortunes, and seemed to be a shadow of his early season self.
Speaking to the East Anglian Daily Times, Drissa said: “People don't always realise how difficult it is sometimes to come back from a bad injury. It is never easy. Every other club I have played the supporters have been happy with me.
“That is why it was frustrating. If I knew I was at my best then I would say fair enough, I have done my best, but I know I can do better. I tried to do my best but I knew I was not ready.
"Friends and old team-mates would come and see me play and say 'that was not the real Drissa' I knew myself I was not playing as well as I can. But this is a new season - a new start, and I'm looking forward to it and I feel ready.”
Drissa has played at right back on a number of occasions for the team, and says he is not worried where manager Joe Royle picks him: “If the manager thinks I can do the job at right back I will do the job. It is the same at centre back or in a three it is no problem to me.”
