Fabian Wilnis today challenged his below-par Ipswich Town team-mates to reproduce their home form on the road.

The Blues suffered their first defeat of the new Coca-Cola Championship season after going down 3-2 at Derby County on Saturday.

And, although this campaign is only three games old, Wilnis believes his side need to address a problem which also hampered them last term.

He told the Evening Gazette: "It's frustrating that we don't seem able to play as well away as we do at Portman Road.

"You could see that here and you could see it in our performance at Nottingham Forest on Wednesday.

"I can't put my finger on the reasons why.

"Maybe we feel we've got more of a licence to attack at home and that's one of our biggest strengths. "We certainly don't seem as confident with our passing and that's very disappointing."
