Ipswich Town boss Gary O'Neil speaking to BBC Radio Suffolk: "It's a tough game to prep because you can tell they are obsessive with what they do with having the ball, with their structure. It means they're weak in other areas, so we were able to hurt them without the ball. When we had the ball we could hurt them quite easily. Should've scored two or three more. But it does test you, the way they play, you have to be humble, you have to be hard-working, you have to stick at it because they are obsessive in how they play, how they keep the ball but we were good.

"We made a lot of changes, so I must say I leave the ground this evening really happy with what the boys produced because it would be easy to lose. I'm sure the club has lost football matches like it in the past. I'm sure there will be other clubs across the country that have lost tonight, so for us to make that many changes and get back-to-back wins within three or four days is a big achievement for the group with how early we are in the season."
