Morecambe boss Derek Adams was disappointed not to take anything from his side’s 2-1 defeat to the Blues at the Mazuma Stadium yesterday.
The Shrimps took the lead in the 34th minute through Kieran Phillips but Town hit back via George Edmundson and Lee Evans, who converted from the penalty spot after Conor Chaplin had missed an earlier spot-kick.
"We’re disappointed not to take anything from the game,” Adams told his club site. "I thought it was an entertaining game, it was probably one of our best performances of the season.
"I think we took the game to Ipswich. We started on the front foot, and we got that goal, ahead from a set play, a great ball in and Kieran Phillips was able to put us 1-0 ahead.
"We looked very comfortable, we limited Ipswich to very few chances throughout the 90 minutes, they had openings, but they weren’t clear cut.
"All we’ve shown is we’ve got some really good players who will enable us to move in a positive direction.”
He added: "We pressed Ipswich all over the park, the second-best team in league at this moment in time, and they didn’t like it. We fed off that because we created openings from it.
"They then changed things about, we adapted to that, I thought they started the second half well, they got a foothold in the game, then they scored from a set play we shouldn’t have conceded.
"Over the 90 minutes, I’m proud of the players. I thought we put in a magnificent effort, the 11 and then the substitutes coming on helped us as well. I was just delighted with the players.”
