Royle also has admitted that he still would like to bring another striker to the club, despite indicating this week he was having second thoughts about doing so: "I would also like another front player here and I am confident of signing a player on loan for that role, possibly next week."
Speaking of the chances of Spanish striker Pablo Counago leaving Portman Road, Royle added: "We have had no offers for Pablo at the moment and on his best form, I would be sorry to lose him."
