Speaking to the Ipswich Evening Star, the Finnish international forward man said: "I was fit and well. It was a tactical move. We had not had too many chances and I struck the post just before the break.
"The manager picked me out to be replaced and I am not making a big issue of it because this is a time when we must stick together.
"We are not scoring goals away from home. I don't know why, but something has happened to us."
