'This side simply never know when they are beaten'

As the cries of "it's happened again" rang out from the away end at St Mary's Stadium in the 95th minute this weekend, it was reassuring that something remains a constant in the world of Ipswich Town, despite a few months of so much change.

This side simply never know when they are beaten.

The desire, fitness and tactical set-up to continue pushing forward until the dying moments of matches has become routine for the watching supporters.

Our substitutions are designed to ensure the intensity and quality does not diminish, with our 'finishers' playing just as an important role as our 'starters'.

During Kieran McKenna's first full season in charge - the League One promotion campaign - Ipswich scored 14 goals after the 81st minute of matches.

The Championship promotion campaign last season saw this increase to 17 goals, one of which went down in Ipswich Town folklore in a showdown against Southampton back in early April.

Regardless of the new summer signings and the tweaks we have seen in our tactical set-up this season - the heart, passion, desire and sometimes sheer bloody mindedness to never give up has carried through to this current crop.

It is therefore fitting that the late winner against the Saints was scored by Sam Morsy. He has now become the first Ipswich captain to score for the club in the top three flights of English football. He also remains the central midfield heartbeat of this new-look team, driving the standards and leading by example each week.

The vast majority of matches this season will see us facing off against higher quality players and opposition, but one thing we are unlikely to be beaten on is heart or desire. That will always give us a chance, regardless of the time on the scoreboard.
