Boss Paul Jewell was pleased that striker Jason Scotland was making the headlines for scoring Town’s goal in the 1-1 draw at Barnsley rather than due to his possible loan return to former club Swansea.
Jewell says there have been no new developments regarding Scotland’s proposed exit and was pleased with the Trinidadian’s performance at Oakwell: "I’d rather him be in the spotlight for scoring goals. He’s our player and until something else happens I expect him to continue in a professional manner.
"He came on, scored a goal and played well when he came on, and I’d rather be talking about Jason scoring goals for Ipswich rather than going somewhere else.”
Jewell also had praise for keeper Márton Fülöp for making a number of saves, although he thought they were stops the Hungarian ought to have made: "I’d be disappointed if he hadn’t have made them. They were good saves but they weren’t breath-taking saves. I don’t think he kept us in the game by any stretch of the imagination.”
Fülöp’s fellow Hungarian Tamás Priskin was pleased that Scotland, who replaced him in the 74th minute, took his chance when it came: "Jason did well to come on and score the goal. As the manager said before the game, it’s not just about 11 players, it’s about the whole squad.
"We have confidence now. We are unbeaten in four games and we are confident we can go up the table.”
Priskin says he’s pleased to be back in the side on a regular basis and believes he will get on the scoresheet again soon, his most recent goal having come at Millwall in Paul Jewell’s first match in charge: "I’m quite happy to be playing at the moment, but on the other side I’m a bit disappointed. I had a few chances against Barnsley, but I didn’t score any goals.
"I was especially disappointed that my goal didn’t stand. The ref blew for a corner instead, but I hope that the goals will come.”
