Keane: It\'s Like Groundhog Day - Ipswich Town News

Boss Roy Keane described Town’s failure to take their chances at Blackpool as being "like Groundhog Day". The Blues had opportunities galore to grab an equaliser at Bloomfield Road but left Lancashire having been defeated 1-0.

Keane said: "We had a number of chances in the game but it's getting like Groundhog Day.

"If you don't take your chances, you get nothing. If you don't hit the target, you don't get much.

"I was disappointed with both ends in the second half. We gave a bad goal away and to miss the chances we had was criminal."

Blackpool boss Ian Holloway was pleased with his side on a pitch he described as being like an "allotment”.

He said: "In the first half we were a little bit sloppy in one or two situations where perhaps we made the wrong choice. Those chances can be vital on a pitch that doesn't help either team at the moment.

"Roy knows how to play against us and he's beaten us twice already this season, so I threw a bit of a curve ball at them by not picking Ben Burgess and going for a bit more movement.

"I call their two central defenders the twin towers as you have to keep the ball away from them by getting out wide."
