The energy, the intensity, the work-rate, the desire to win the ball back, the blocks. I loved that, that side of us was great. We carried a threat and we scored a magnificent second goal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;I&#8217;m really proud of the lads and I feel privileged to be part of this because I think it was a really good game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;We dropped a few points, one or two questions were asked and we&#8217;ve delivered and answered them. But what we&#8217;ve got to do is be consistent and keep that going.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna told BBC Radio Suffolk:<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;We made too many mistakes to win the game or have too many complaints.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;The night could have been different. We could have got the first goal on a couple of occasions, the penalty being the biggest one.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;But the bit of the performance I&#8217;m most disappointed about is how we managed the most difficult spells of the game. It became too open, too chaotic, we gave up too much.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;To come away to a difficult place against a team in form and a crowd behind them, you can&#8217;t make as many mistakes as we did. You need to be stronger and show more resilience to keep the ball out of your net.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Middlesbrough head coach Rob Edwards told BBC Radio Tees: &#8220;I loved us tonight.
