Boss Jim Magilton hailed his players' character after the 3-2 defeat of Scunthorpe United. The Town manager also had praise for Tommy Miller's winning freekick.
Magilton said: "It was a fantastic goal for Tommy. He has got the capacity to finish like that, but if you had watched any of his other set-pieces this season he has been absolutely rubbish, so he was certainly due one!
"Credit where credit's due, Scunthorpe played with a lot of resilience and quality and scored two very good goals.
"I'm sure their manager will be very proud of his side and feel slightly aggrieved that they didn't get anything from the game.
"Teams come here now and don't want to become another statistic. They come and work their socks off and we have got to get used to that.
"We can play better and we didn't zip the ball about like we can, but we showed a lot of character. We were a bit gung-ho at times, but overall I was absolutely delighted with three points."
Magilton kept the same side which beat Leicester, although he did think about switching one or two players: "I was tempted to change it and I thought we were looking leggy, so it's something we will need to look at next week."
The Town manager was also pleased to see Owen Garvan score his second goal of the season: "It was a terrific finish and we'd like to see him and the other midfielders getting on the scoresheet more often.
"Having said that, I was getting on at him because he was piling forward and we have enough attack-minded players as it is."
Scunthorpe boss Nigel Adkins said his team weren't pleased with the decision to award the freekick from which Miller scored: "My players didn't think it was a freekick, but without seeing a replay I wouldn't like to comment.
"People would have expected us to get a good hiding here, but that wasn't the case.
"Not one team has turned us over this season, and that's testament to a group of guys who are totally committed to each other.
"We haven't won the game, and could therefore feel demoralised, but we'll take the positives.
"Ipswich have been on a great run at home and we knew it was going to be a big task.
"We tried to approach the game positively, without leaving ourselves open, and we showed great character and team spirit."
