Keane: Reviewing options
Ipswich Town boss Roy Keane has one eye on strengthening his squad after they drew a blank against Sheffield Wednesday.
The Suffolk outfit remain with just one Championship victory all season after being held to a goalless draw at Portman Road.
Keane remains worried by his side's lack of goals this term and has hinted he would make a loan move before the window closes next week.
"It's another draw for us. It's disappointing, particularly as we're at home. I think we had some good chances to win the game," he told Sky Sports.
"We've looked a lot more solid in recent weeks, but we don't look like scoring too many goals at the moment.
"We talk about scoring goals, but we can't always point the fingers at the strikers. It's okay for the defenders and midfielders to score as well.
"We're not scoring enough goals. We'll keep trying different combinations and see if there's a striker outside our club that might be available."
Keane's counterpart Brian Laws felt Wednesday deserved at least a point from their trip down south.
Damien Delaney inadvertently handled Luke Varney's flick-on in the first half and Laws thought it should have been a penalty.
"I certainly think we deserved something out of the game, in the second half in particular we deserved something better," said Laws.
"I thought we just snatched at our opportunities. Instead of passing the ball into the net we've tried to blast it.
"I thought we penetrated them quite well in the second half and there was the odd occasion when I thought they had one opportunity.
"I thought it was a blatant handball. There was distance as well. I thought it was a handball. It was very clear where I was."
