[h=3]McCarthy insists Albion made it tough[/h]9:30am Sunday 29th September 2013 in Albion By Brian Owen
Ipswich boss Mick McCarthy insists his side had to work hard to beat Albion.
David McGoldrick scored on 20 and 24 minutes as the Tractor Boys won 2-0 at Portman Road yesterday.
The Seagulls did not muster a single shot on target although Andrew Crofts missed a great chance early on.
But McCarthy said: “We had to beat them. We didn’t get anything easy from them.
“I think they are a good outfit, good players. They started better than us, missed a sitter.
“That’s this league. Last week they (Ipswich’s opponents Wigan) made saves or we missed chances.
“You’ve got to take your chances when they come along and we did with a really good performance from Dids (McGoldrick).”
McCarthy recognised Albion could have had a penalty in the second half when defender Tommy Smith seemed to handle Will Buckley’s shot.
