He said: "The bottom line is, did we beat Ipswich? Yes. Did we give Charlton a damn good hiding? Yes. The stick that comes is from fans who don't like getting beat.
"We have been over-achieving for three years now and the reason for that is that we work together on our strengths. Nobody can tell me that our style of play isn't effective.
"I would encourage people to analyse a but further what we do. Look at Charlton for example with their "expansive passing" style. Their two goals last week came from set-pieces and crosses - the same as ours.
"It's horses for courses. I try and remain calm when I hear this criticism but we are in the business of winning. There are a lot of teams who try and play nice pretty football but that is why they are not where we are - at the top."

Aidan stop moaning about other managers and fans just keep your own team on the right tracks.
