Under-fire Paul Jewell praised his players' spirit after they picked up a well-earned point in a 1-1 draw against high-flying Brighton.

Daryl Murphy fired the lowly Tractor Boys into the lead in the first half, but Will Buckley struck from close range with 10 minutes remaining to ensure the points were shared.
Town have now gone seven league games without a win but Jewell insists the togetherness in his squad will help to eventually turn the club's fortunes around.
He said: "We're disappointed not to have got the three points after leading for so long but they are a good team and very difficult to stop. We frustrated them and kept our shape very well.
"We should have gone two up in the second half and been out of sight right after half-time, but if you don't kill sides like Brighton off when you get the chance, they will come back and hurt you.
"We've conceded a lot from set-plays this season and we have taken a lot of flak, but the lads have shown that the spirit is still there. We have the togetherness in the squad to turn the bad run around."
