'It was a poor game for us'

Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "It was a poor game for us and a strange game. We were competitive for long spells of the first half and we gave away a goal early, came back with a good attitude. We conceded poor goals at poor times and in general we didn't deal with the direct play well enough.
"They are the first team we've faced with that style, a lot of direct balls to [Michail] Antonio, a lot of balls to [Tomas] Soucek and we didn't deal with those well enough and made poor mistakes for the goals that made the game difficult and took all the momentum away from us.
"Everyone is out there with the right intent but it is how we cover each action. I don't think it is anything we don't know but the game can change very, very quickly for a team in our position. When you drop your level the game can get away from you very quickly."
