To put a positive spin on it we are only five points off the play offs, however thankfully due to the inability of the Venky boys still next to bottom. The natives are getting restless in the PR postcode area and demanding mega signings before Wednesday, we still need a right back and someone else with pace up front or wide, however as we are still in August there is no need to panic just yet.
Sounds like it was not the best of performances yesterday, good finish by Ward though.
The next two games after the international break are at home a place where we have not won a league game for nearly seven month. A good time for a break,chance to sort of problems on the training ground, anyway here's what the respectivebosses said.
Ipswich manager Mick McCarthy:
"I thought we were excellent today. We played really well in the first half and then we stood up to a right scrap in the second half - it was a real bloke's performance.
"Daryl Murphy put in a transfer request and my view is you don't stand in the way of someone who wants to leave.
"It is great move for him and he has been terrific for us so I wish him well. It is a great bit of business for the club and we will reinvest and get other players in."
Preston manager Simon Grayson:
"I am disappointed as you know when you come to Portman Road and play against a Mick McCarthy side, you have to compete and battle.
"We lost too many individual battles and not enough players played to the standard that I know they are capable of.
"There was not a great deal in the game but we didn't do enough, on or off the ball, to get anything out of it.
"I am hoping to strengthen. I have given a list of names to the owner and I am hoping to tick some people off. It is going to be a crazy three or four days through all the divisions."
