Aston Villa boss Unai Emery felt his side’s 2-2 draw with the Blues at Portman Road was a fair result.
Liam Delap gave Town the lead before the visitors turned the game around before half-time via goals from Morgan Rogers and Ollie Watkins, before Delap secured a deserved point for the Blues with his second of the game and third of the season.
"The result is fair and we are in a process as a team working out how we can build strongly our tactics and mentality with some new players getting progressively better,” the Spaniard said.
"More or less, my thoughts are that one match like, after the first half, we came back the result and controlled the match like we planned.
"When teams play at home they are pushing and more or less demanding more from us, focus and tactically defensively and offensively. We need to control the game again like we didn’t do in the second half.
"The result was fair and we could have even lost the match in the end. I am accepting the point, but in the way I want to raise our level and demands, I accept it in our process.”
Emery’s side are fifth in the Premier League and would have gone level on points with leaders Liverpool had they won today.
"Overall, we have 13 points, but today we were as well optimistic about the possibility to get to Liverpool with 15 points.
"We can accept how difficult this league is and playing away, playing against a team like Ipswich who are excited and have a good structure tactically.
"They are playing with confidence and this is the difficulty we faced today in 90 minutes. In the first half we played even better than I had planned to stop their game plan and their capacity to push us.
"In the second half they played like I thought they would. Of course, in this moment we needed to be stronger than we were.”
"For example, we conceded 10 corners and how is the question. We didn’t control the ball and our positioning to stop them to get to our box. They didn’t score through corners, but it showed we didn’t have control."
Blues skipper Sam Morsy was adjudged to have made two fouls in the second half having already been booked but referee Stuart Attwell opted not to show a second yellow card and then a red.
But Emery had little interest in arguing the case: "I think here in England we have very good referees.
"Of course, it’s maybe tight and at the limit to [be shown] a yellow card, but I accepted it.”
