Ipswich boss McKenna accepts Maidstone FA Cup shock

Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna offered no excuses after their FA Cup shock against Maidstone.

The Tractor Boys were beaten 2-1 at home by National League South Maidstone.

"It's a bad day for us, no doubt about it," sad McKenna. "It's an incredible scoreline really. Full credit to Maidstone, it's their big day and it's a really bad day for us and we're going to have to produce a big response to that.

"We had so many chances early in the game. We started the game so well irrespective of the level of the opponent, missed so many chances and had a lot of misfortune.

"We made a mistake from our corner, let them break away and get a goal and from then on the game always felt like it was out of control.

"They have scored twice off two shots and we've had 38 shots and scored one. That's the story of the day."
