As a 1-0 triumph kept them in second spot in League 23, ipswich maintained their unbeaten start.
The visitors were on the front foot from the get-go, and minutes following the inaugural James Norwood was presented with the very first opportunity of the game – which saw him denied by Russell Martin’s block – that traffic broke the deadlock.
Emyr Huws‘ teasing delivery was fulfilled on the movement from Jon Nolan, who applied a end with the inside of his boot to leave no chance to Lee Nicholls.
Paul Lambert’s men should have had a moment minutes later, when Norwood chosen to play with his striker partner Kayden Jackson of shooting, only for Nicholls to save bravely at his feet.
The Dons came after the breakup into existence, projecting themselves to challenge the resolve of the meanest defence of the league.
Substitute Jordan Bowery forced Tomas Holy right into a couple point-blank savesfellow replacement Brennan Dickenson added needed attacking appetite, but neither could help fashion an equaliser.
Holy then made the save of the night to refuse Jordan Houghton’s goal-bound prod late on.
But Ipswich overcame the storm to curtail the Dons‘ own run of outcomes, which had found them win their last 3 matches in all competitions.
