Joe on Win - Ipswich Town News
Town manager Joe Royle was pleased with Saturday's friendly win against Crystal Palace, saving special praise for new signings Kevin Horlock and Jason De Vos.
Royle said: "It was nice to score a couple, although we gave our usual daft one away. As long as we keep on scoring it won't matter.
"Kevin was probably our best player; winning balls, passing well and just being steady. Jason did very well too, so both new boys acquitted themselves well.
"Palace are a handful, Johnson was leading scorer in the division last season and Freedman has always scored goals, so it was nice to keep them quiet."
