Ipswich Town striker Pablo Couñago has hailed Town’s supporters as “unbelievable” due to the way they have treated him over the last few months.

The 25-year-old striker made a rare start for Town during Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Leeds United has praised the reception the Town fans gave him, saying: “They are a fantastic crowd who gave the team wonderful support and have been there for me all the time.

“I can hardly find the words for me to describe them, they are unbelievable.”

Couñago also praised the 3 up front Joe Royle used on Saturday, also saying: “The three worked really well, especially in the first half. We scored and we had other chances. I did tire a little bit because I have not played in the first team for so long but this will have done me good.

“If I play on Saturday I will be even better for having played in this match.

“I'm pleased because I played my part in Shefki's goal and in general.”

Town midfielder Tommy Miller says he enjoyed having the Spaniard in the side, saying: “It was a joy to have Pablo in the side. I have always said he is a fantastic player and he has come in and done very well.

“He has not played for quite a while so he obviously tired towards the end and the manager was right to take him off when he did but let's hope he plays him again on Saturday.

“He set up a goal and created a couple of other chances and might have scored himself.”
