'Our idea was good'

Hull manager Sergej Jakirovic said his side's approach was the right one in the narrow 1-0 defeat at Ipswich.

The Tigers frustrated the hosts for large periods but were undone by a superb strike from Azor Matusiwa.

Jakirovic told BBC Radio Humberside: "Ipswich were the better side but they did not have many chances. They started to play with three number 10s and we got too deep.

"The goal I cannot understand. We must take the ball. We had five players there and they had one.

"We tried to push and create something but we could not score the goal. They have very good players who are technically fantastic, so we had a low block and it worked apart from needing better decisions.

"Our idea was good. They have a bigger budget and this is the only way we can compete with them."
