So­ca War­riors and Ip­swich Town winger Car­los Ed­wards says he found Sat­ur­day's 2-0 de­feat to Portsmouth in the Eng­lish Co­ca Co­la Cham­pi­onship Di­vi­sion hard to take af­ter the Blues had played so well in the first half. The winger-turned-right-back says he'd rather play bad­ly and win rather than play well and lose as Town have in their last two games

Speak­ing af­ter Sat­ur­day's match, Ed­wards said: "It's hard to ac­cept af­ter play­ing some very at­trac­tive foot­ball and reat­ing so many chances, and yet again we came away with ze­ro points.

"I pre­fer play­ing rub­bish and com­ing away with three points rather than play­ing at­trac­tive foot­ball and com­ing away with noth­ing be­cause in the end all that hard work comes to ab­solute peanuts. "Sat­ur­day was one of those days, you can't fault the lads for their ef­forts, but it just didn't hap­pen for us." De­spite cre­at­ing sev­er­al of the chances which went beg­ging, the T&T in­ter­na­tion­al isn't too harsh on his team-mates for their profli­ga­cy in front of goal: "You have to cred­it them for find­ing them­selves in the po­si­tions to get on the end of some of the de­liv­er­ies.

"But it counts for noth­ing when we put in some good de­liv­er­ies and you don't put it in the back of the net."You can't fault the lads, they are dis­ap­point­ed. Ja­son is dis­ap­point­ed be­cause he was try­ing to get in­to dou­ble fig­ures to­day.

"It was just one of those days where noth­ing was falling for ei­ther Con­nor or Ja­son. We as a team need to try and help them and not dwell too much on this game," he said.
