Boss Roy Keane was pleased with Town's workrate and their clean sheet but was disappointed not to have had more possession and more of a cutting edge after the 0-0 draw at Swansea.
Keane said: "We could have done more with the possession but our workrate was good and now we can look forward to next week.
"We are disappointed that we never had a cutting edge, but to keep a clean sheet is always good.
"We are looking for a bit more consistency as we have dropped a lot of points against teams near the bottom of the division and today we had to be a bit more negative to get anything out of this game.
"It can't be all about playing pretty football, sometimes you have to turn in performances like that if you want to make progress and we did all the ugly stuff well today.
"They probably had the better of the half chances but we had good situations but didn't make the most of them because we were let down by the final ball.
"We have got to be better in possession going forward and hopefully we will be next week but the back four and keeper will be pleased with the clean sheet, the whole team should be.
"The fans got behind the team and me and we really appreciate that and I think they will be content with the performance, although of course we have not shown that level on a consistent basis."
Commenting on speculation that his time as Town manager could be about to come to an end, Keane said: "Better managers than me have lost their jobs and if the board want to move me on then that is the name of the game, but I have a wife and five kids and I will be all right.
"I'm very proud to be manager of Ipswich and, please God, that will continue. I'm certainly not fearful of losing my job. I've got a good life but football is massively important to me. I came down to Ipswich to do a job and I don't think I've really started yet.
"I appreciate that people do get impatient, particularly supporters, but I was pleased with the supporters who travelled down here. They got behind the team and got behind myself and that is very much appreciated."
Swansea manager Paulo Sousa felt a draw was a fair result: "Ipswich were well organised and our minds were not fresh, so at the end of the game I am happy with a point.
"I am very glad that we are now through a difficult month and can refresh ourselves before next Saturday's derby at Cardiff.
"We need to be ready for them but we have shown we are a good side as we have been in the play-off positions for a long time.
"We now have 22 clean sheets this season to equal the club record but we must find more ways of scoring goals and we have the possibility of doing that during training this week.
"We want to create a strong foundation here and improve as a club and I'm very confident and happy that we will do just that."
