McAuley: It Was the Worst Feeling Ever - Ipswich Town News
Goalscorer Gareth McAuley says the feeling of conceding another injury time goal against Watford was “gut-wrenching”. McAuley has also backed manager Roy Keane to turn things around.
McAuley said: "It you take the worst thing that's ever happened to you and multiply it you are getting close to how awful we felt.
"I really have no words to describe it. It was gut-wrenching. And the pain was greater because Watford never looked like scoring.
"But late goals keep happening and we must learn to concentrate right to the final whistle.”
The Northern Irishman admits he was disappointed to be stripped of the captaincy earlier in the season, but backs manager Roy Keane to be a success with the Blues: "Our manager has definitely got it in him to get Ipswich where they want to be.
"Are the players on his side? Without a doubt.”
