Ipswich Town

Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: “We had a great start to the game. I thought we were the better team in the first half, but we were not able to cash in on a good start.

“Their execution was top and our defending in those moments wasn’t good enough. They were clinical.

“Their level was higher taking the opportunities that came their way. We have conceded four goals – you cannot say we got everything perfect.

“We still played aggressively. So I think we did some good things, we created more than enough chances, but we have to keep working.

“We know the group is working well in many aspects. To win we have to improve, there is still improvements in the group.

“There is no doubt they’re on a good track, but we’re into February and the games start to tick along and we need to pick up points.”

On home form: “Strange that our home record isn’t as good as our away record – there’s a lot of different factors to that.

On Axel Tuanzebe’s suspension: “There is plenty areas we’re doing well. From an individual level, Axel Tuanzebe gets wrongly sent off last week, then he gets suspended for two yellows.

“We have to bring a new player into the team who isn’t up to speed with his team.”
