Royle’s Reaction: West Ham

Ipswich Town manager Joe Royle is happy with a point in his 100th game as Ipswich Town manager after today’s draw with West Ham.

Speaking after the match he said: “I would have taken a point before the game so we have to be satisfied with what we got, our display was a lot better in the second-half, we pressed the play more and once we drew level, I thought we would go on to win it.

“The penalty miss by Sheringham was crucial. It would have been hard to get back from two down at half-time but we have always got a goal in us.

“Pablo did well, his best display for us this season and there is more to come from him.

“We must defend better though and that means as a team. We were poor in that department in the first-half and our back four had too many players running at them.”.
