Collins: Defeat a Sickener - Ipswich Town News
Two-goal defender Danny Collins said falling to a 3-2 defeat at Nottingham Forest was a “sickener”, the Blues conceding two goals in the final six minutes. The on-loan Stoke man scored two goals in a game for the first time in his professional career, with his opener the first he has scored in 34 months.
Collins said: "Of course we're all bitterly disappointed in the dressing room. For me personally, to score two goals and still come off losing is a bit of a sickener.
"We just seem a bit soft at the minute and as a team we can't seem to see games out.
"I felt that we did enough to deserve not just a point but all three today.
"But it's the same old story at the minute in that we haven't been able to see the game out."
Meanwhile, keeper David Stockdale accepted the blame for Forest's first goal on Twitter: "Gutted about today. First goal was my error. Sorry to those fans who came today and were great. Put it right and work hard for next week.
"We all learn from mistakes and [it] makes us better! Glad to have great fans to drag us through. Start Monday and head down, work hard in training."
