Moore: We Could Have Capitalised on More of Our Chances - Ipswich Town News

Huddersfield boss Darren Moore felt his side could have capitalised on more of the chances they created during their 1-1 draw with Town, but was pleased his team didn’t allow the Blues to go on and win after Brandon Williams’s 87th-minute equaliser.

Delano Burgzorg gave the Terriers the lead on 61 before Williams levelled for Town, who finished the game the stronger.

"I think looking at it, it was a good solid performance and we set out our stall very early by disrupting their play and Ipswich settling into a rhythm and pattern,” Moore said.

"We got in and amongst them and got the ball forward well into threatening areas of the game.

"If I had one criticism, it's that I think we could have capitalised more on the chances we created. I thought we deserved to get our noses in front and would have liked to see us extend that.

"But the game was disrupted with the substitutions we were forced to make from our point of view, with Yuta [Nakayama] and Hoggy [Jonathan Hogg] coming off and Sorba [Thomas] and probably the front two coming off. It disrupted the rhythm and allowed Ipswich a little bit of momentum back into the game.

"The pleasing thing was that when Ipswich did score, we didn’t allow them to go on and win the game. It would have been a travesty from our point of view.

"We didn’t win, but made sure we didn’t lose it and it was a positive afternoon of football played by us on the front foot and engaging our opponents and setting a positive atmosphere.”

Moore congratulated Town keeper Vaclav Hladky on his performance as the two passed in the media room after the match having been impressed by the Czech’s display.

"Ipswich are a really really good team, and it's about us setting off on our journey now,” he added.

"It was an entertaining game with two teams going at it from the off. I thought we got it just right in terms of our distances. I just felt we could have got another goal, but their keeper pulled off some wonderful saves. But then after the equaliser I was really pleased that we showed real resilience.”
