Pablo: I Didn\'t Touch It - Ipswich Town News

Striker Pablo Couñago has admitted that he failed to get a touch on the Carlos Edwards long throw which ended up in the back of the net in the second half at Southampton on Saturday. Referee Andy Hall gave a goalkick rather than a goal due to no one connecting with Edwards’s throw.

Couñago told the club site: "I tried to get a flick on it but didn't touch the ball. If it didn't touch anyone else then the referee got it right

"It was a very disappointing result for us. We controlled the game for the first 25 minutes but in the second half we didn't create many chances and now we must look to react against West Brom on Tuesday."

Meanwhile, boss Roy Keane says Jon Walters’s hamstring injury will be assessed prior to the game against the Baggies: "It's a blow because he's an important player for us. We will have to see how he is over the next 24 hours."

After Saturday's game Keane said he expected Walters to miss a couple of games.
