Wolves 0-0 Ipswich: Walter Zenga and Mick McCarthy reaction

Ipswich manager Mick McCarthy was left "fuming" after his side's 0-0 Sky Bet Championship draw at Wolves.

McCarthy felt his side were denied a goal when Daryl Murphy had his 28th-minute effort disallowed for offside, labelling it "a shambles".

Former Wolves boss McCarthy said: "I am delighted and fuming at the same time because I think that we have been denied a really good goal. It is a shambles really.

"I have looked at it and Freddie (Sears) is in front of the goalkeeper and it flies past him - and I'm not even convinced that he is in an offside position.

"I think there is a defender who is level with him and even if he is not I saw a goal recently when a player shot and someone was in front of the goalkeeper, and it was a goal. They are the rules now...unless you motion towards it.

"I think that it is a really poor decision and I'm annoyed about that - but I'm thrilled and delighted by the performance."

Ipswich goalkeeper Bartosz Bialkowski earned the side a share of the spoils, saving a first-half penalty from Jon Dadi Bodvarsson and then denying Helder Costa in the second period.

McCarthy added: "He is an outstanding goalkeeper and he has proved it again.

"But I think we played really well and we did the dirty stuff really well - closing down and pressing better than we have done so far."

Wolves should have taken the lead through Bodvarsson after he was fouled by Adam Webster but his weak 23rd minute penalty was well saved by the Ipswich goalkeeper.

Bialkowski then rescued his team again after 73 minutes with a flying save to tip away Costa's volley.

Despite the stalemate, Wolves' boss Walter Zenga was pleased with his side, who extended their unbeaten run to four games.

He said: "I am always happy because my players did everything that they could.

"We cannot win every game but we understand that it is the right way for Wolves to come strong.

"I repeat again that the players are amazing and they did a great job this evening.

"I say thank you to the players because one point at the moment is a very important point. We have to build up the season."

Zenga admitted Ipswich were a tough nut to crack and he added: "We know that Ipswich play in this style. This kind of long ball going against the defender does not let us play.

"This is the style and we know that we have to put the ball down and play faster with our quality."

The second half introduction of Costa did add some spark to Wolves and Zenga said: "We chose the right time to put him on.

"Costa can create some problems and he did. Unfortunately he did not score but if he had scored we would have all gone crazy."
