In front of 28,444, the Blues twice fought back from falling behind through two Colby Bishop penalties, only to finish on the wrong end of a 3-2 scoreline.
Despite the disappointment, there were some worthy displays at Portman Road – and here are our ratings for the Blues...
1. Josh Griffiths - 7
Good save from Burns towards end of first half and very safe and secure in everything he did, irrespective of the scoreline. Photo: NationalWorld
2. Connor Ogilvie - 7
As ever, put his body on the line, receiving treatment on a few occasions, but battled on without giving an inch. Photo: National World
3. Michael Morrison - 7
(Replaced by Reeco Hackett on 87 minutes). Rugged and uncompromising, superbly stood firm during difficult first half when Blues needed him most. Photo: NationalWorld
4. Sean Raggett - 8
The pick of the defence and an absolute colossus throughout, while also used the ball well on the ground including nice bit of skill in second half. Photo: NationalWorld
