'A point wouldn't have felt great and a defeat definitely doesn't'

Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna has been speaking to BBC Match of the Day following the defeat: "No doubt it is a bad result for us. It was a poor way to lose the game. We were the better team, had the better chances, should have been ahead, should have killed the game but didn't. Then we lost it to a poor late goal from our point of view.

"I don't think a point would have felt too much better today, to be honest. We should have been well clear in the first half, we come in level in the game and we go behind from a really good start. A point wouldn't have felt great today and a defeat definitely doesn't."

On what was missing in the second half: "We didn't manage to break down their man-to-man pressure. We didn't sustain the pressure. It's an opportunity missed. Another home game that we have lost late and we have had too many of those.

"We had the better of the game, the better performance, but we didn't take the win. There's a lot of football to play and it's a sore one to take, but we need to make sure that we keep performing well. We need to work hard, respond in the right way and try to get stronger."

On whether the goals his side conceded were soft: "They were. The first goal is a goal kick and it is probably the first time that they entered our box and it should be saved as well. Two poor goals."

On whether there will be more transfer activity before the window closes: "No, I don't think so. My feeling is that there probably won't be. We are still going to try for sure to improve the squad, but I don't think anything will happen."
