Karel Fraeye described today's Ipswich loss as “unbelievable” after Charlton were thrashed 3-0 at the Valley.

A Daryl Murphy brace and Freddie Sears’ neat finish ensured that the Addicks would not make it three wins from three games.

The South Londoners were booed off at full-time.

A dumbfounded Fraeye blasted the decision to allow Ipswich’s first goal following an elbow to Chris Solly’s face in the process.

He said: "We went into the game to get three points and that was clear from the beginning.

“All statistics today were in our favour except for one - the goals - and it’s unbelievable that we didn't score when they got three.

“The first goal was crucial and I think it shouldn't have been allowed because there was a foul on our player - that might have been decisive for the game.

“Other things went against us, too, first with the Johnnie Jackson injury, who was the heart of the team last week, losing him was a blow but I think the team reacted very well.”

In the second-half, Ipswich keeper Dean Gerken pulled off three terrific saves to thwart Ricardo Vaz Te, twice, and Patrick Bauer.

The interim boss also revealed how the scoreline was not as bad as it looked and took positives from the game.

He added: “Although it was 0-3 at full-time, things aren't as bad as these numbers look I’m sure about that.

“The team has lost other games, like at Middlesbrough, and I was positive after that game.

“In previous matches we lost 3-0 and it was difficult to take positives but I think today, the only statistic we really lost was the score.”

Jackson, who signed a one-year contract extension yesterday, had to go off after 13 minutes as he suffered a hamstring injury.

Fraeye stressed how big a moment that was for his side during the game.

He said: “He had a problem with his hamstring and we don't know how bad it will be but tomorrow or Monday we’ll hopefully get the news.

“We know he's very important, he’s proved that in the last few games, not only with goals but also with his performances.

“When he’s not in the team - it affects the team.”

When asked about the protest inside the Valley, where thousands of fans held up flyers in regard to CEO Katrien Meire suggesting only two percent of supporters were unhappy with the club - Fraeye refused to discuss it.

He replied: “Sorry, I was focused on the game so I didn't notice.”
