Gareth McAuley admitted being baffled and frustrated by Ipswich Town’s stalemate against Bristol City.

The Blues had to settle for a 0-0 draw at Portman Road on Saturday.

But it would have been a different story had they converted one of numerous second-half chances to breach inspired goalkeeper Dean Gerken.

“We were frustrated to say the least and it was the most one-sided 45 minutes we’ve produced this season,” said skipper McAuley, who had a header brilliantly saved by the former Colchester United man.

“We had plenty of chances and a mixture of poor finishing and a goalkeeper who was outstanding kept us at bay.

“He’s a very good keeper and it was no fluke, because he was brilliant when we played down there too."
