Royle Disappointed - Ipswich Town News

Town boss Joe Royle was disappointed with a draw at Burnley, although he admitted that just a few weeks ago it would have been a good result.

Royle said of his improving side: "In the end I was disappointed to come away with just a draw. A month or so ago we would have been pleased enough to get a point at Turf Moor, a place where Tottenham Hotspur, Wolves and Nottingham Forest have all lost.

"Our change in standards now means we are disappointed."

Royle praised the well-worked corner from Darren Ambrose and Jim Magilton which led to Pablo Couñago's first ever away goal.

Burnley's equaliser came from the penalty spot after an Andy Marshall rush of blood. Royle says his keeper has accepted the blame: "Andy has held his hands up. It was an error of judgement so we will leave it at that."

Royle was particularly impressed with Fabian Wilnis, Jim Magilton and Tommy Miller at Turf Moor.
