Mick McCarthy chooses to praise his Ipswich Town side after seeing them denied victory by Nottingham Forest's late equaliser.

Mick McCarthy has elected to remain positive after seeing his Ipswich Town side denied victory by a late equaliser against Nottingham Forest on Sunday.

Ipswich looked on course for all three points before Michail Antonio's late strike earned Forest a 2-2 draw, but McCarthy refused to criticise his players for their display at the City Ground.

"I am proud of the performance and it was a thoroughly deserved point, but it feels like a defeat. Then again, if you had offered me a point beforehand, I wouldn't have even got on the bus," the Ipswich boss told reporters.

"I think a lot of people will see Forest as champions elect with the squad they have got, so it is a good point.

"We've had to defend well against a very capable team and I am pleased with the way we've played, but disappointed with the late blow."

Ipswich climbed to sixth in the Championship with the point.
