Ipswich Town FC

Mick McCarthy felt Town had the chances to have won the game against Bristol City but was relieved in the end to take a point.

Ryan Fraser struck five minutes from the end to give Blues a 2-2 draw after City had cancelled out Luke Chambers’ opener with two goals in three minutes.

“We had enough chances to have won but when you are 2-1 down with five minutes to go, you’ll take the point,” the Town boss told Ipswich Player HD. 

“What was pleasing was that having gone a goal down, we responded well and kept going to the end.

“Our subs made a great impact when they went on. I have been looking for that when we make changes and Didz [David McGoldrick] was different class. Brett [Pitman] did great as well. They made a huge difference.

“We have to defend better than we did today though. If we don’t we are not going to do anything. The first goal has taken a big deflection but he shouldn’t have been able to get there. 

“There were mistakes for the second one as well. They were appalling goals to give away but as I said, we responded well and we will take the point and move on.”
