The least we deserved was a point - Davies
FT: Ipswich 2-1 Birmingham
Birmingham City
Birmingham manager Chris Davies speaking to BBC Radio WM following his side's 2-1 defeat by Ipswich:
“I thought the least we deserved was a point from today’s game. We scored a legitimate goal and I've never been as frustrated with a refereeing decision in my entire career in football, because of how hard we worked at a place like this to get into that position.
“For a linesman 60 yards away to guess, when actually we now see the ball isn't out of play, is very frustrating because the least we deserved was a point from this game.
“You can see from the reaction of the players that it was in play and it’s one person guessing in this whole stadium. I asked the linesman straight after the game ‘why did you do that?’ and he said ‘I can assure you the ball was out of play, I wouldn't have given it otherwise’.
"But it wasn’t, we’ve seen that and that is as hard to take as anything because of what we gave in the game and what we deserved.”
In the Championship, you’re flipping a coin on those - McKenna
FT: Ipswich 2-1 Birmingham
Ipswich Town
Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna speaking to BBC Radio Suffolk after his side's 2-1 win against Birmingham:
“I think first half, we deserved to be ahead for sure. I thought we were outstanding and we were good value to get a couple of goals.
“The half-time whistle came at the wrong time because we looked like we were going to score on every attack.
“The second half was really difficult and you have to give Birmingham credit for that. They’re in a position where they had a swing at it. They’ve got some good players on the bench and brought on good forwards to throw everything at us.
“We didn't impose ourselves from an attacking point of view as well as what we would have liked in the second half and we couldn’t quite get a foothold on it. So then we had to try and be resilient and manage the game well, and we mostly did that.”
On Birmingham’s controversial disallowed goal: “I don't know whether the ball was in or out. I’ve not seen it back. In the Championship, you’re flipping a coin on those because you don't know, the referees don't have the angles, the linesmen don't have the angles. But I’m not going to give that one a second thought.”
Charles has a big future - Pederson
FT: Sheff Wed 1-1 Leicester
Sheffield Wednesday
Sheffield Wednesday head coach Henrik Pederson speaking to BBC Radio Sheffield about goalkeeper Pierce Charles after his fantastic display earned the Owls a point against Leicester.
"He is a fantastic goalkeeper. Normally we speak about Pierce being top with his feet, today how also showed how mentally strong he is and how strong he is defensively. Top performance from him.
"I think there's nobody that has doubt for his potential. He has a big, big future, that's why we are really, really proud and really happy that he's a part of Sheffield Wednesday.
"We will do everything we can to keep him for the future.
"There was many things we could have done better today, one of them was to keep the ball better.
"I know we played against a team that's at the bottom of the league but if you take every single player they are a fantastic team."
We knew it was a game that we had to win - Rowett
FT: Sheffield Wednesday 1-1 Leicester
Leicester City
Leicester City boss Gary Rowett speaking to BBC Radio Leicester following their 1-1 draw with Sheffield Wednesday:
"We knew it was a game that we had to win. Other results mean we are in no different a position in some ways but it's not about that, it's about taking your opportunities.
"We have had three games now where overall we have created lots and lots of chances, lots and lots of efforts at goal, had lots and lots of the ball.
"I don't think we have necessarily had games where structurally, tactically, we have had problems. It's just been we need the quality in those final moments.
"We keep inviting teams to have a lead then basically sit in on that lead. It means you have got to show that extra quality to open it up."
U's left 'terribly disappointed' - Bloomfield
FT: Portsmouth 2-2 Oxford
Oxford United
Oxford United boss Matt Bloomfield has been speaking after his side's 2-2 draw at Portsmouth:
"We worked so incredibly hard to get our noses in front in the game against a tough opposition in such an incredible atmosphere,
"We feel terribly disappointed that we are not walking away with three points, we need to make sure we improve on conceding late goals like this.
"Nothing was decided today [in the relegation picture], it’s my job now as the leader of the group to pick everybody up and make sure we get ready for the game at the weekend.
"We still have to give games to go and we’ll keep hunting."
Mousinho questions Ogilvie red
FT: Portsmouth 2-2 Oxford
Portsmouth
Portsmouth boss John Mousinho has been speaking after his side's 2-2 draw with Oxford.
The home side had defender Connor Ogilvie sent off inside 20 minutes for a foul on Stanley Mills, a decision which Mousinho believes was harsh:
"In real time I don't think anyone in the stadium was expecting it to be a red card including Oxford.
"In these games when stakes are so high, if you are going to do something as monumental as that I think you have to be 100% sure and I don't think it's clear-cut.
"I'm not going to hide away from the fact that I don't think Connor needs to make the challenge but if that's a red card then there should be a fair few more.
"It's still extremely tight down the bottom, we wanted to win the game today and i'm not sure the draw helped either side too much.
"In the circumstances we'll obviously take it, going deep into the game and then getting the equaliser."
