"We're doing it his way now and his way is really good. If we stick by each other and we stick by him then we will go a long way for sure. "Having a pre-season under this manager and him trusting me is massive. Wherever I play I will do it to the best of my ability. "He and his staff have been top so far. They have ingrained good spirit and a real good feeling here and I think that translates to the pitch."Fraser provided an assist for his side in Sunday's draw at Portman Road. The 31-year-old cut in and send a quality ball into the box, where youngster Jay Robinson was on hand to head into the net for his first senior goal."Jay has been unbelievable," Fraser added. "As a young player he is playing without fear and he's bedded into the team so good. "First and foremost he is a great lad away from the pitch and if we keep him fit he will be a massive player for us this season. "Seeing him come through is nice for me to see. He reminds me of when I was that young, but he's probably better than me!"
