Naylor Taking Positives - Ipswich Town News

Club captain Richard Naylor says Town should take a number of positives from Tuesday's game against Charlton Athletic despite failing to claim all three points. The Blues' next match is at home to QPR on Saturday.

Naylor told the club site: "There were a lot of plus points from the match and we have to use them at the weekend.

"It was obviously disappointing that we didn't get the three points, but I thought we took the game to them.

"We are not losing games and the confidence is starting to come. We restricted them to one shot on goal, which is a good return, but unfortunately it ended up in the back of the net.

"There will be criticism because we dropped two points when we were dominating the game, especially in the second half, but we have to take it, learn from it and put it to use against QPR on Saturday.

"We are only a few points off the play-off places and we are moving in the right direction. Hopefully, we can take another step forward at the weekend."
