Mick McCarthy praises Ipswich Town's forward duo

Ipswich Town manager Mick McCarthy has described his two strikers David McGoldrick and Daryl Murphy as "a good weapon to have".

The duo have scored 19 goals between them this term, which has helped to lift the Tractor Boys up to second in the Championship table with 20 matches played.

Speaking to the East Anglian Daily Times about that contribution, McCarthy said: "We've a good striking partnership that is admired by other people.

"If you speak to other managers after the game they'll always be complimenting those two and saying they're a good partnership, individually and as a partnership. It's a good weapon to have."

Both players found the net during Ipswich's most recent win last Saturday - a 4-1 victory over Leeds United at Portman Road.
