MATCHDAY QUOTES
"Justice wasn't done.
“But we should have struck them away.
“We played very well but everyone forgets how you played when you've lost.”
Ron Saunders.
---
"We scrambled a result because Villa missed the best two chances of the match.
"They are going to be difficult to beat all season, especially when Shaw learns to take chances.
“He’ll be something special when he's 22."
Ipswich manager Bobby Robson.
