The debrief: Ipswich Town (A)

Here's what they said after the game:

LEE JOHNSON

• Johnson said the changing room was buzzing and he was relieved to get "that monkey off the back" with a win after four defeats 
• He said Portman Road was a difficult place to come, with Paul Lambert getting the Tractor Boys going and working their socks off for each other
• Johnson said City were excellent in the first 10-15 minutes before "the Ipswich shape got the better of us"
• Lloyd Kelly epitomised what Johnson wanted in the second half with his "attacking intent" and Famara "gave us the physical platform"
• The focus of the week had been on giving players confidence "so they trust in each other and they know that we trust them"
• Academy product Joe Morrell acquitted himself well and was "very composed and calm"

JAMIE PATERSON

• Paterson admitted that City "weren't good enough in the first half" but were "a different side in the second half"
• He said City have had a "tough run over the last four game" and the feeling was of "relief more than anything"
• The forward said the fans "had been frustrated and the players were glad to send them on their long journey home happy"
• Reflecting on his first goal since Bolton Wanderers away in August, Paterson said: "I feel like I'm in and around the goal and can get some more goals in that central position"

ADAM WEBSTER

• Webster talked about "the massive character" shown by the players to come back from losing positions twice
• City's half-time team talk was focused on "being positive in the final third"
• Millwall are next up at Ashton Gate on Sunday which will be "physically tough" and the focus on the next few days would be about recovery
