Dean Bowditch starred for the England U19s in the 1-1 draw with the Czech Republic at Carrow Road and admitted he was delighted with his own performance.

The Town striker set up Lee Holmes' equaliser on 79 minutes after the visitors had taken a surprise lead through Martin Fillo and received many plaudits for his overall display.

"I was pleased, both with my own and the team's performance," says the frontrunner.

"We were annoyed with the goal we let in because it was a set-piece and we hardly ever concede from set-pieces.

"My pass to Lee Holmes which resulted in our goal was just like the one I scored against Coventry; a long ball from me over on the right and all Lee had to do was tap it in."

Dean moved into a central striking position after the break after spending the first-half in a left-sided role.

"It's a lot harder in the middle because as a wide man you have more space but I like to think that I'm versatile and the manager, Martin Hunter, can put me where he wants," adds Dean, who played the full 90 minutes.

Dean was also happy with the crowd reaction, saying: "I think they warmed to me after the first few touches and realised that I was playing for my country and not Ipswich!" he says.
