Ben Bloom’s match report from Portman Road has landed:
That’s the lot from me – why not change channels and join Scott Murray for the 3pm football clockwatch?
Bye for now.

Kieran McKenna, the Ipswich manager, speaks to Sky Sports: “I thought it was a good performance, we showed we can put on a good performance against a side that’s recently been in the Premier League … we should have won the game. There were two big moments where we didn’t defend our box well enough. [But] A really good performance … with lots of things we can take and build on.”
What about the missed chances? “That’s football. We’ve been so clinical at home … it was probably a 3-0 first half. I can’t fault us … maybe it means a bit more to the players today [so they snatched at chances].
“Look, there’s lessons to learn, but we have to take confidence from that, not just how we competed, how we dominated.”
Surprised to see Broadhead missing chances? “You are surprised with any of our forwards [to miss], they’ve been so clinical … I’d rather be sitting here saying we’ve created lots of chances and played that well, even if we’ve only got a point.”
Any complaints about the refereeing, in particular the second goal? “There’s always a bit of argy-bargy … it was just one of those days. We didn’t get a couple of moments in the box and the ball fell to them. I thought it was a good, aggressive game. A good competitive game. No big complaints [about refereeing].
It’s two years to the day since he took over … “There’s no getting away from it, it’s a been a big, big progression. We’ve come a long way int a short space of time … we want to keep getting better … we won’t pause and reflect too much. We’ve had some amazing atmospheres in my time here, but that’s the biggest one the players will have played in.”
