Embarrassing night for Jewell

21 April 2011 23:30
Ipswich boss Paul Jewell admitted he was embarrassed by his side's 5-1 humbling against derby rivals Norwich at Portman Road. Town went down 4-1 to their neighbours earlier in the season under Roy Keane's stewardship and, following a run of four wins in five games, Jewell found the chastening reverse hard to take. Jewell said: "It was hugely disappointing. It was a local derby, a full house and you try to put on a decent show for supporters, so the scoreline is embarrassing, no doubt about it. "We probably had more possession than them and more chances but it was obvious that in both boxes they were exceptional and we were average to say the least." The former Bradford, Wigan and Derby boss, though, sees a positive future for the Suffolk club. He added: "There have been a lot of good things that have happened here and the lads deserve serious credit for staying in the league, but we know where we need to get better."
