"We knew it was going to be tough, obviously with Ipswich having a new manager with a big reputation," said Coleman to the media after the game.
"They are coming on the back of a 3-0 win at Cardiff and then we lose two goals in a short space of time.
"I thought we could have collapsed but we didn't. "I thought the lads did well. We came back. We should have scored more goals, really. They had one or two situations where they defended well."
"The last six or eight weeks, the wheels have come off, really. "It's been miserable for us."
