Ipswich Town have had the better of their game against Bolton Wanderers this afternoon, but the score remains 0-0 going into half time at the Macron Stadium.

Both sides looked nervy during the opening exchanges, despite good recent form, with neither initially taking control of the game.

The first shot came from David McGoldrick after a clever turn 25 yards out, but Andy Lonergan was there to make a comfortable save.

Lonergan then had to be alert to tip over Daryl Murphy's cheeky lob before Max Clayton came close for Bolton at the other end.

Ipswich grew into the match and created a few good chances as the half went on. Bolton, on the other hand, struggled to fashion much in the final third.

Murphy cut inside onto his stronger left foot and curled an effort a yard wide as Ipswich edged towards an opening goal as the whistle went for the break.
