Reaction from Ipswich Town manager Joe Royle following Town’s 3-1 win against Plymouth earlier today.

Royle: “It is nice to go into the break with five points and seven goals from our last three games, we were not at our best but results mean everything and one hopes a win will improve our confidence. We are getting stronger as our injured players are returning.

 

“We were all right today. Plymouth are awkward and hard to play against, as they have proved with their recent results. We knew they would be dangerous at set-pieces but so are we.

 

“They were never going to beat our central defenders with guile but they were still a handful and their goal came from a wonder free-kick from a very talented player. Our defenders were resilient but everyone in the team had a go.

 

“The majority of the fans were behind us. We have heard too much from the minority in recent weeks, but now there is a brighter atmosphere about the place.

 

“Plymouth may feel hard done by over the penalty but they cannot dispute that we deserved the win.”
