“WE needed someone to do something different,” said Ipswich Town manager Roy Keane about David Wright's winning goal against Derby County.
“I don't know what he was doing up there from left back jumping above 6ft 4in defenders.
“David Wright is an example to all the players. He is a top professional who buckles down and does his job.
“It may have been our worst display for four or five games, but we deserved the win, and the monkey is off our backs.
“We just about edged it and we never really got going with their extra man in midfield making them difficult to break down.
“It was not pretty, in fact it was ugly, and from the opening minutes you could sense the strange atmosphere.
“It was a bit flat, but we won with Pablo Counago and Tamas Priskin doing well when they came on giving us a little more spark after Jon Stead had run his socks off.”
Keane led the chorus of thanks to the home fans adding: “They probably weren't happy with the performance but I'm sure they'll be happy with the victory.
“It's the least they deserve and their support is much appreciated.
“It gave the players that extra bit of energy, especially in the last ten or 15 minutes.
“To go so many games without victory is unacceptable, but this win is a reward for everyone.
“Results affect a lot of people and it's nice for everyone, but it's only one victory.
“We'll be working hard again through the week and anyone who thinks we're going to relax obviously doesn't know me very well.”
