Reaction from Ipswich Town manager Joe Royle following last nights 3-3 draw with Derby County at Pride Park.

Royle: “It was a great game for the neutrals and signs of us creaking back to our dangerous best.

 

“We were very dangerous and might have scored a couple more in the first half.

 

“We defended too deep but you can't fault the spirit of the team to come back and get a point. And don't forget, we still have four first-teamers out injured.

 

“I was delighted with the point and the youngsters like Dean McDonald and Jimmy Juan will benefit from the experience.

 

“Matt Richards was excellent in the job he was given to do.

 

“He kept Idiakez quiet and then got away from him towards the end in spectacular fashion to score.

 

“Jim (Magilton) has done brilliant, the best player on the pitch. Not just with his goals, but the way he played all night and, even in the 90th minute, he is defending on his own halfway line.

 

“If only we had a 26-year-old Jim Magilton to stay with us for years to come.”
