Ipswich Town 1 Doncaster Rovers 1: Rovers gifted 'soft' penalty - O'Driscoll

The Yorkshiremen pulled level thanks to a penalty converted by Dean Shiels, after the substitute was pushed over by Shane O'Connor. The young defender protested his innocence and O'Driscoll felt O'Connor had cause to feel aggrieved.

He said: "We've benefited from this decision but in the last three games I've been on the receiving end, so we're either part of the problem or part of the solution.

"My view is that this was a soft one. You can see why the referee gave it. Technically it was a penalty because he pushed him in the back, but if it was given against me I'd be disappointed.

"All managers will say they've had stonewall penalties turned down and we've had some horrific things that haven't been given for us.

"Then we get that one. It was the one major refereeing decision in the game and in my view we got away with it.

"I'm just trying to be honest."

O'Driscoll felt his side were good value for their point, having fallen behind to a goal by 17-year-old striker Connor Wickham who took advantage of indecision between Shelton Martis and goalkeeper Neil Sullivan.

"I thought we had enough possession to win but didn't work their goalkeeper enough," said O'Driscoll. "This is our second season in the Championship and we miss a cutting edge. It was also our Achilles heel last season."
