Town boss Paul Jewell says he will speak to club owner Marcus Evans in the morning, as he does after every game. The Liverpudlian, who missed his post-match press conference, confirmed that he is still the Blues’ manager despite earlier reports claiming that he had resigned.
Jewell told the club site: "I’m Ipswich Town manager at the moment and I will be in the morning.
"I’ll be at the training ground tomorrow and will speak to Marcus then, as I do after every game.”
Regarding the 2-1 defeat to his former club Derby County, he said: "We started brightly enough and were the better team in the first-half but we conceded another bad goal just before half-time.
"One mistake led to another and you could see the confidence drain out of the players. We didn’t really threaten in the second half and then to concede right at the end again for the second game in succession was a real kick in the teeth.
"That’s 15 points we have let go now this season from winning positions, but I can’t keep saying the same things.
"It’s really difficult to pick yourself up and go again but that’s what you have to do as a professional. There’s another game Saturday and everyone has to focus on that and getting the club out of the run we are on.”
Speaking at the post-match press conference, Jewell's assistant Chris Hutchings - who will be at Wednesday evening's Supporters Club AGM along with chief executive Simon Clegg and skipper Carlos Edwards - revealed owner Evans is currently in Barbados.
