Speed, tactics and errors - O'Shea on Premier League differences
- Published
Ipswich captain Dara O'Shea has highlighted the main differences between playing in the Premier League and the Championship.
The 27-year-old has had three seprate stints in the top flight, with two at Ipswich and one at his previous club Burnley.
"It's probably a small bit of everything, really," O'Shea said in his pre-match news conference. "Definitely the speed of things and how the opponents will take their chances. You don't really get much [room for] error in the Premier League and attackers are ready to pounce on it.
"There's probably a slight better understanding of the game and the tactical side of it as well, where they're moving you about in the positions they are trying to get on the ball.
"All in all, the Premier League is quite different to the Championship and there's a lot that comes with it. They both have different feels."
When asked what he expects from Saturday's trip to Hull, he added: "Hopefully an exciting game where we come away with three points but we know how tough it's going to be.
"It's always tough to come away from home and to go away somewhere where they've had a lot of success is going to be difficult. It's going to be important to settle ourselves in as quickly as possible and try and take away the atmosphere from them."
