"The reaction in the second-half was amazing, really dominating and it isn't easy playing here at Ipswich, in their home stadium and all the effort keeping them in a 1-1 finish overall, but it is important to stay calm because it feels everything is going into the right direction, we have to be patient and then we will get the reward."

"It's the only thing we can do is to support the players, everyone sees and feels the way we are playing the game is right, but the results aren't what we want. We have to respect that Ipswich are a good team, so lets take the point and respect the point and we will rebuild on our performance.

"There is no other way than to support the players and encourage them because they work so hard to get into the situation do so many things in training we are showing them videos and speaking to them well.

"It is a lot of positives to take, if we did the opposite and blaming the players, they will loose their confidence. We have to support them and keep believing."

"Not to blame the referee, we will keep analysing, and practising. Maybe I am wrong or I don't know if the referee was a former football player. He won't change it anymore, so we accept it."

"The second-half, we were completely dominant and we should have won the game in my eyes. As long as we keep performing like this surely we have to win."

"It is a massive mentality and this is a bad phase that we are going through but we need to stay positive, keep the togetherness and mentality and performances. If we keep performing like this, surely we will have to win."

"My only question is, why did that have to go to VAR when both the referee and linesman are standing there watching? It should be an on-field decision there and then. I do agree with the decision because we don't know if he was going to get there.

"I think there needs to be ownership on the pitch. The referee and the linesman could both see what could have happened but VAR always have to get involved. But it is what it is."
