Jim Magilton had praise for Giovani and the Town fans after Blues were held to a draw by Burnley at Portman Road.

Mexico international Giovani cancelled out Wade Elliott's first-half goal with a clinical finish on 72 minutes and could have won it at the end for Blues but failed to convert Alan Quinn's cross.

"We could and should have been two goals up but then 10 seconds after we missed the second chance, we were picking the ball out of our net," said the Town boss.

"It was a bad goal to give away but the lads showed great character to get back in the game with a good goal from Gio and we could have won it in the end.

"The fans here like a hero and they've got another one now in the lad. He looked bright and bubbly and showed the quality you would expect from a player that has been at Barcelona and cost Tottenham over £4m.

"He drifted in and out of the game which comes with lacking a little match fitness but we were pleased with him.

"Gio probably should have had another goal and Kevin Lisbie had a great chance as well. Burnley are a good side though and are very dangerous on the counter attack so although we are disappointed it was only a point, we will go again on Saturday against Watford.

"The fans were great again tonight. When we went a goal down they rose as one and got right behind the players and they applauded the players off and I think that shows they were happy with the commitment and performance."

Luca Civelli left the field on a stretcher with Jim admitting it looked a bad injury, adding: "It looks like his knee and it's a real blow for the lad and us because he is getting better with every game. He has gone to hospital and we will know more on Wednesday."
