Matt on Defeat - Ipswich Town News

Town skipper Matt Holland has called for a swift return to form after Wednesday night's disappointing 4-2 home loss to Wolves.

Holland, who made his 300th Town appearance against Dave Jones' men, told the club site: "We controlled the game for the first hour and could and should have been out of sight by half-time.

"We missed some great chances but then went to sleep in the last 30 minutes and paid the price.

"The boss had a few words to say in the dressing-room after the game but now it's all behind us, we must look forward to the game against Grimsby on Saturday and put things right then.

"We owe them after our defeat at Blundell Park earlier in the season and a win will put us right back in Play-Off contention again.

"It was nice to get on the scoresheet but I would rather have had the three points."
