MICK TAKES IT ON CHIN

IpSWICh won their first four league matches this season, but that seemed a long time ago for the 13,815 who sat through a dire goalless draw with Burton on Saturday. It was Ipswich’s lowest league crowd since October 1998. Manager Mick McCarthy has been linked with Barnsley and, judging by some chants on Saturday, many won’t miss him. ‘I’m more than cool getting the stick for the team’s performance,’ he said, having waited an hour to simmer down before facing the media.
