'Frustrating for us'

Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna, speaking to Sky Sports: "We started well. We had so many good opportunities. Millimeters again from taking the lead.

"If we get the first goal we are able to defend well and defend with stability. It is frustrating for us, a first half performance which we should have the lead.

"The quality of their execution when they got their moments contrasted to the other end wasn't good enough - that was the difference.

"The response was pretty good. They managed the disappointment of the two goals pretty good.

"We got a good goal back and went in at half-time with good confidence. I thought we were right there until they got the third.

"We had some good opportunities around the box, but we weren't able to produce the quality.

"Of course, it is frustrating the margins have been small. Especially in the home games, we could have had a lot more points on the board - it is, what it is.

"The margins are small and if you don't execute it right the quality of the team will punish you.

"The group is improving. But, of course, it's getting to the latter stages of the season and we want points on the board not performances."
