Ipswich Town Women manager Joe Sheehan said that he was happy with the point his team gained against Watford this afternoon in Felixstowe.

The Tractor Girls played out a goalless draw against Watford in what was a very tight game between two good sides.

Sheehan said: "The game went exactly as expected. We thought the game would be separated by either a really scrappy goal or a moment of brilliance.

"We both cancelled each other out in many aspects and they are a really good team - they used the ball well.

"We will take the point and move on."

Player of the match, midfielder Shauna Guyatt said: "It was a really tough game. It was the toughest we have had so far this season.

"We will have games where it is important to get a result, obviously we wanted to win, but it was a tough game."

This result maintains Town's unbeaten season so far, registering six wins and two draws in all competitions.

Guyatt continued: "We are a new team. It's very important that we gel quickly and I think we have done that.

"Not being beaten has been really good, and I think it shows our mentality and how hard we all work."

Sheehan said: "We've learned from our previous experiences.

"Winning these games isn't the most important thing, it's not getting beat and these games are important in making sure you don't slip up.

"If you can avoid defeats against these teams and beat others, then you should be in good shape come the end of the season."

An attendance of 881 turned out to watch the Tractor Girls in action this afternoon.

"It's great to be back here", Sheehan said.

"We've travelled a lot recently and we have another big journey next week to Plymouth, but it was great support here.

"Whilst we couldn't provide them with goals, hopefully, they were still entertained by the game and will come back again."

Guyatt added: "The crowd really helps.

"There's moments when I get tired and I hear people should, it's like a 12th man, which I know is a cliché but it genuinely is and I really appreciate it.

"The girls love it too when everyone is cheering us on so we want to make sure we do well for them."
