Ipswich 2-1 Wolves - Manager Reaction

Last updated : 30 August 2004 By Site Editor
Town boss Joe Royle was delighted with his sides display: "It was a great game. I thought we were outstanding. We played with excitement and verve.

"We are averaging two goals a game, are second in the league and in the next round of the Cup.

"We defended properly - apart from the goal which came from a great delivery - but apart from that for the third game running Kelvin Davis has not had a save to make.

"My biggest concern was that we didn't score the goals we should have done. At times in the first half I thought we were going to score every time we attacked."

Speaking of Skipper Jim Magilton who ran the middle of the park until he was replaced on 70 minutes Royle said: "Jim was terrific. We had to make sure he did not blow a gasket,"

Meanwhile Wolves boss Dave Jones admitted he was glad his side are about to enter a two week break for internationals due to the number of injuries his squad has at present: "We have had to dig in deep and play players who are learning their trade.

"When you have no competition in your football club sometimes when you want to change it you can't and we have not been able to. The break will be a big plus for us."
