“I think the main thing is, it’s not about the performance at this moment in time because of where we are in the league, it’s about picking points up from each game.
“So to come to a place like Ipswich and go home with three points, I’m well chuffed.”

A battling start to the second half was undone after Jaiyesimi gave the ball away cheaply, but the former Norwich man responded positively to score the winner.
Keen to share praise all around his team, Sheridan said: “It was a good performance from the players, they all put a good shift in, and we played some really good stuff at times.
“They (Ipswich) are a hard team to break down, they’re a solid outfit, but I feel as though we caused them a lot of problems and we scored some really good goals.
“The first goal was an excellent team goal, and the strike from Twine was quality. To go home with something was the most important thing.”
