Counterpart Paul Jewell was disappointed with how his side’s performance dropped off in the second half.

Goals from David Norris and Connor Wickham put Ipswich 2-0 up at half-time and the Clarets hit back through a 68th-minute goal from Jay Rodriguez.

Howe said: “My aims are to win every game and when you don’t you question everything. I think teams have done their homework against us but we have to be better.”
