'I don't want to be happy with just a point' - Ryan Mason's view on West Brom's late Ipswich defeat

The Baggies had largely defended well and were decent value for the point they came for before shipping the needless Tractor Boys' winner seven minutes from time.

But Albion carried zero threat in the final third and an only effort on target came via a tame Isaac Price header in stoppage time as Mason's side trailed.

"I'm disappointed, frustrated," Mason said. "Having conceded in the nature we did is extremely disappointing. I don't think we've done enough to win the game, for sure. So yes, disappointed. We're angry.

"We played away from home on Wednesday night. They played here Tuesday night.

"They were able to make quite a few changes. We're not really in a position where we could freshen it up. I think the nature of the result on Wednesday night, we prioritised certain things to try and be as compact as possible and to grow into the game, which I believe we did in the second half.

"But I think when we were having our moments, we didn't really create a great deal. There was no real end product or we didn't really threaten their goal or their penalty box. 

"So that's something that's disappointing that we need to work on. Of course to concede relatively late in the game, with the nature of it as well, it's tough to accept and we need to work."

It was two away defeats in the space of four days for Mason's side and the head coach has been vocal with his frustration at the schedule.

Albion spent three nights away from the club in between Wednesday's defeat at Watford and the lunchtime trip to Ipswich. Mason felt that was more beneficial for recovery time than sitting for two long coach journeys.

Ipswich struggled in large parts in front of a frustrated Portman Road atmosphere. Kieran McKenna's hosts still looked the more likely to break the deadlock against an Albion squad relatively low on numbers in certain areas, as Mason's men toiled with a toothless display in the final third.

"Listen, we want more. I don't want to sit here and be happy with just a point at places," Mason added. "But at the same time we put a lot of energy, used the same team to roll out three games in a week. I think the lack of recovery time naturally is challenging.

"We played against a team able to make numerous changes but having said that I felt like we were in the game.

"Like I say I think from sort of 50 minutes to 60 or 65 I felt like it was there for us. I just don't know whether we really had enough belief or enough productivity in the final third to really go and threaten and make things happen."
