Here's how Pool's players rated:

1. Chris Maxwell - 5/10

Not directly at fault for any of Ipswich’s four goals but might have done better with a couple. Otherwise fine.

Looked a threat going forwards, but caught out defensively for Ipswich’s first and fourth goals.

Centre-backs weren’t necessarily the problem but Ekpiteta still doesn’t look quite sure of himself in that position.

Didn’t do a lot wrong but playing on the left hand side of the two centre-backs clearly isn’t his strongest position.

Ought to have closed down quicker for Ipswich’s first goal. Delivered some good crosses against his former side.

Clattered into a couple of early challenges but threatened to go too far at times. But one of the better performers.
