"We've won four of our last five matches and there's still more to come. Ten or 11 games is not a lot of time for new players to settle in. A better style will come when we hold a better position in the table."
Speaking of the prospective penalty incident where Georges Santos appeared to tackle Darren Byfield, but the referee felt there was no contact, Royle confessed: "When I first saw the Santos challenge on Byfield I thought it was a penalty, but I understand the video shows there was no contact. The referee was a lot closer than I was."
However, Rotherham boss Ronnie Moore, who once showed his desire to manage Ipswich, saw it very differentley: "I was gutted with the penalty decisions the referee made. We got back into the game and the pressure was on Ipswich. Then two major decisions cost us two goals."
"I'd like to see the assessor's report on the referee. Managers are not allowed to see these reports but I think it is about time we did."
Moore did admit though, that he had little sympathy for the two players that were sent off, and aknowledged that they were both deserved: "The sending off of our two lads was right. They both had to go. Macca (McIntosh) was so incensed about their diving and had a previous yellow card."
"Julian Baudet's shin was in a right mess after a foul by Alan Mahon but you can't put your hands around anyone's throat. It's asking to be sent off." continued Moore.
"I was pleased with our attitude and commitment, Chris Sedgwick has come back into a little bit of form and we're certainly playing better although we could do with a bit of luck."
