Monk told the Evening Post ”We don’t fear anyone in this league and we know that when we are firing on all cylinders then we are a tough team to cope with
”People will put us as underdogs and expect us to struggle to get anything on the road.
”That’s fine because we know what we are about. A lot of new teams to the Championship would have crumbled at Ipswich after going 1-0 down, but we didn’t.
”It shows a lot about the character of this team that we turned the home fans on their own team.
”It helped us a little bit after I read in the local paper that Swansea were going to struggle and Ipswich would comfortably win 2-0.
”I told the boys in the huddle before the game about it. I told them ‘Look, this is what the locals are saying. Let’s prove them wrong’.
”We did that and, although we are a little disappointed to have only come away with a draw, I’m glad the local press was proved wrong.”
