Town boss Mick McCarthy was fuming after his side conceded a late equaliser during their 1-1 pre-season draw against Cambridge United at the Abbey Stadium.
Andre Dozzell put the Blues in front in the 83rd minute but U’s striker Joe Pigott netted with a minute of scheduled time remaining.
"Up until the last couple of minutes it was all right, but the last couple of minutes it was bullshit football that we’ve played and we’ve conceded a goal from it and I’m fuming," he seethed.
"Even if we didn’t score [the chances we’d had], we just slowed the game down, we weren’t playing forward.
"The lads who have gone on, I know it’s not easy going on for 25 minutes, but they put a lot on for 25 minutes as well. I’m not tolerating that, I’ve just told them that, that’s garbage that. To concede that goal is really piss poor.”
McCarthy was able to take some positives, including Dozzell’s well-taken goal and the form of some of the squad’s other younger players.
"He’s good, Andre. I thought James Blanchfield was good, Bish was good in the first half. I thought Tristan Nydam came on and did well, he’s just a kid, he’s great.
"There were some positives but I’m just fuming after that now. I don’t often lose the plot but I just have.
"And it’s a pre-season friendly. I say I’m not bothered about them, I don’t like them but I don’t like conceding goals at that time - Brentford away last year, Nottingham Forest away last year, Bolton last year. That’s bullshit, you don’t get anywhere if you do that. I’m not tolerating that.
"I’m not having it, it’s not good enough. It’s unforgivable for me. If he whacks one in from 30 yards, fine, but we had the ball and we gave it away. Not good enough.”
McCarthy was pleased to see David McGoldrick make his first appearance of pre-season after a hip flexor problem.
"It’s lovely to see him out there,” he added. "That’s his first 30 minutes in a long time, let’s hope we can keep him on the pitch.”
Dean Gerken and Adam McDonnell missed the game, while Luke Hyam came off with a knee injury.
"He’s just got a tight hamstring,” McCarthy said regarding Gerken. "Adam got kicked in a training session, he got raked down the back of his leg, he’s got scars down the back of his leg. He’s all right, it’s a kick but it’s a nasty one.”
"We all saw what Luke did. I don’t know what he’s done other than twisting his knee. We’ll have a look either tomorrow or Monday to find out.”
Regarding tabloid reports of interest in Tommy Smith and Daryl Murphy, he said: "Nobody’s made a phone call to me.”
The Town boss says there is no progress on incoming signings: "No, still working on it. Hopefully we’ll get something but at the moment nothing's happening.”
