Really shabby for 60/70 minutes of the game but 3 good points. Doesn’t feel reassuring but good that we’re back in the mix at the top. For what is supposedly a good footballing side our movement and retention of possession is dreadful.

What a weird game. I was thinking on 75 mins, we haven’t really done enough to win this but I will be happy enough with the effort and ending the losing run.

Was sure the header had gone wide and that’s the strangest pen decision I have ever seen (in light of the ones he didn’t give).

Sometimes you need a bit of luck and we worked hard for it today. Good result, need to build the confidence off this and go on another run of winning games.

Can't argue, but I didn't think Ipswich (who are nor in form) had either. And after our recent performances, that was an improvement.

Defensively we were better in wide areas - we didn't give Ipswich as much time and space to cross as we have done lately.
O9 is better at fullback than CM imo.
 
Good result against a team playing well. Hopefully this is the lift the young lads have needed. Sitting 6th with plenty games to go....keep the faith well done the Hoffman and onien for shutting a few up who have been far to critical of them

The lift in confidence from going ahead was palpable. We need a performance midweek like cos that was still ropey as owt.
