Ipswich Town's general manager Lee O'Neill says they would have preferred to play the final matches because many players have recovered from injuries.

Both the League One and League Two seasons have been ended early after a formal vote by clubs yesterday.

Based on points-per-game, Ipswich finished in 11th place in League One - their lowest league position for 67 years.

"A number of our players who have been out injured are actually available and fit again so I think to have our full squad being able to compete like we did at the start of the season when we were on our run, I think would have really helped our surge towards the end of the season," O'Neill said.

"So from that point of view we kind of wanted to play out the rest of the season and try to make that play-off spot."

He signed off with: "Enjoy your summer football fans."
