    Ipswich Town, external striker Brett Pitman has no qualms with fans venting their frustration, but wants them to wait until the game is over.

    Brett Pitman

    He's been speaking to BBC Suffolk Sport ahead of tonight's home match against Bristol City

    During Monday's defeat to Fulham there were a number of negative chants about manager Mick McCarthy, club owner Marcus Evans and the style of football on show. 

    "It's not helpful for the players," said Pitman. "Obviously we're trying to do the right things and would love the fans to come and really get behind us, but on the other hand I understand their frustrations. 

    "I urge them to get behind us. If it's not been a good performance, boo at the final whistle, but really get behind us when we can get something out of the game."
