Roy's joy at cup success
Roy Keane dedicated the 1-0 Carling Cup quarter-final victory over West Brom to Ipswich's fans.
The former Manchester United midfielder has endured a difficult relationship with Town supporters following a dire run of form which saw them slip to 16th in the npower Championship.
However, Keane's battling team - hit by injuries and unavailable loan players - secured their semi-final place against Barclays Premier League title challengers Arsenal in January through a second-half penalty from Grant Leadbitter.
Only some 11,300 turned out on a freezing night in Suffolk, and Keane - who had accepted in his programme notes "there is no hiding place for a manager" - was glad to send them all away with a warm glow.
"I am more pleased for other people, it is all about the players and the supporters," Keane said. "It is not about my feelings because a manager's career will be up or down - we have let the supporters down and we have given them something to shout about.
"Let's talk about the 11 or 12,000 that came here. Hopefully a few more will come back for the semi-final. Since I have been in the job we have had moments when we have thought we were going to kick on, but we won't until we get some of our players back."
