Town boss Roy Keane felt his side’s 2-0 home victory over Millwall could have ended 7-4 with both teams having plenty of opportunities to score. Lions boss Kenny Jackett thought his side were unlucky with two penalty decisions.
Keane said: "I thought it was a cracking game, both teams did well, it could have been 7-4. I thought we looked dangerous today.
"Credit to Millwall they caused us lots of problems, had high energy and a good spirit, even when we went a goal up.
"It was a pity we couldn’t have finished the game off earlier but 2-0 and a clean sheet was a good result for us. It was a good performance.
"The back four and the keeper did well and Millwall did very well too I thought, they gave us lots of problems and were unlucky not to score themselves.
"I thought we would have to play really well to get a result today and I thought the players did well.”
Millwall boss Kenny Jackett was unhappy that referee Kevin Friend failed to award a penalty when the ball struck Grant Leadbitter’s hand in the first half and thought Town’s spotkick when Danny Shittu fouled Tamás Priskin was similarly debatable: "I felt we came out on the wrong side of the penalty decisions. My first impression was that that handball was a clear penalty.
"But I’ll look at the DVD, I haven’t had an opportunity to look at it again and sometimes when you do that as a manager your viewpoint changes, but for me it was a clear penalty at the time on one look.
"The other one was similar to ours. Sometimes you see them given, sometimes you don’t and between the two of them you do get one generally.”
Keane saw things very differently: "I would disagree 100% with that. In the Coventry game we were punished when the striker got the other side of Gareth McAuley and there was a coming together. If that was a penalty against us, then that was definitely a penalty today.
"I think the handball was more ball to hand. If it had gone against us like a couple of weeks ago you wouldn’t hear me complaining about it.”
Jackett had particular praise for Town’s central defensive pairing of Gareth McAuley and Damien Delaney: "Ipswich have some power at set pieces. Their two centre-halves defended very well, headed a lot of balls out from six or seven yards out, which we have to match, whether that’s scoring goals or defending because they had opportunities from set pieces.
"We probably had the better of it in between the boxes in terms of possession and passing. We put a lot of very good balls into the goalscoring area with quality and either it didn’t break for us or their centre-halves defended very well and headed the ball out of their box.”
