Boss Mick McCarthy felt his side deserved their 2-1 home victory over Yeovil despite being disappointed with aspects of their first half performance.
"I thought we should have been in front when we conceded,” the Town boss said.
"It was a disappointment having had most of the play and most of the good play up to their box, but we just weren’t good enough to create a chance or to get on the end of something.
"And it’s sod’s law that you have most of the play and then somebody I spoke to in the summer [Joel Grant] steps up and scores. It generally happens to me, that.”
There were muted boos as his side left the field at the break, which McCarthy said he could understand to some extent: "We got the bird going off and I think we deserved it for our performance, for not being good enough to be in front.
"But I think it was a bit because it was Yeovil and I sat in here on Saturday and everybody’s going ‘It’s Yeovil, you should win’, that’s rubbish that and I told you that. And the lads have just said that that was harder than Middlesbrough.
"And the reason it’s harder is because we have more forward play and more attacks and if we give it away it’s suddenly straight back on top of us. It was an end to end game at times.
"So, I don’t mind getting the bird for not being good enough to be in front when we should have been, but I hope it’s not because anybody thinks that they’re beneath our dignity because that’s nonsense.
"We’re not that good that we think we’re just going to roll teams over. We’re not that good as a team or a club that we can just think we can roll teams over. You’ve got to earn every single point.”
The Town boss says Yeovil are far from an easy touch: "They’d won one, drawn one and lost one and they’re better away from home. I think there’s no pressure and I think they’ve got some nice, tidy footballers and they created a couple of chances as well, to be fair.”
He says he outlined to the players what he was unhappy with during the break: "I was livid at our inability to make the final pass.
"We were trying to score too quickly, were putting crosses in from bad positions and getting blocked and they were breaking on us. We didn’t do enough of the quality stuff to be in front, and I just pointed that out.”
McCarthy says they improved with the build-up to Aaron Cresswell’s goal an example: "Just before half-time we had a really good chance that Chambo maybe could have chested down and took in and that came because we kept playing rather than trying to cross the ball from rubbish areas.
"Cressy’s came because somebody was going to have shot, then Didsy was going to shoot, it came back, we worked it and we ended up getting our reward.”
The Blues manager was again pleased with central defender Christophe Berra: "To get him on a free transfer is bonkers really. We were very, very fortunate. But, you know what? Maybe he’s fortunate to come here, he’s enjoying it.
"From signing him from Hearts [at Wolves] he’s just been a good player for me and he’s doing the same again.”
McCarthy says he’ll look at the weekend game at Wigan in a day or so: "We’re going to one of the favourites on Sunday now. We can only take care of our job tonight, which we’ve done, and I’ll worry about that come the end of the week.”
Yeovil manager Gary Johnson kept his men in their dressing room for 45 minutes after the game.
"I needed to go through a few things with the boys," he explained. "We lacked the energy and competitiveness in the second half.
"We have to play the game more vigorously. We gave Ipswich time and room and you can't do that at this level. You have to be more clever.
"We did enough in the first half to be 1-0 up, but we were a little disorganised after the restart.
"We allowed Ipswich's experienced strikers to hold the ball up and their experienced full-backs to get forward. We didn't do enough in the final third."
