Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna speaks after Town’s 2-1 win over Birmingham City

Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna speaking to BBC Radio Suffolk after his side’s 2-1 win against Birmingham:

“I think first half, we deserved to be ahead for sure. I thought we were outstanding and we were good value to get a couple of goals.

“The half-time whistle came at the wrong time because we looked like we were going to score on every attack.

“The second half was really difficult and you have to give Birmingham credit for that. They’re in a position where they had a swing at it. They’ve got some good players on the bench and brought on good forwards to throw everything at us.

“We didn’t impose ourselves from an attacking point of view as well as what we would have liked in the second half and we couldn’t quite get a foothold on it. So then we had to try and be resilient and manage the game well, and we mostly did that.”

On Birmingham’s controversial disallowed goal: “I don’t know whether the ball was in or out. I’ve not seen it back. In the Championship, you’re flipping a coin on those because you don’t know, the referees don’t have the angles, the linesmen don’t have the angles. But I’m not going to give that one a second thought.”
