Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna felt Blackburn Rovers' goals were correctly disallowed.
John Eustace's side were beaten 1-0 at Ewood Park after an early strike from Connor Chaplin. Rovers had the ball in the net three times as they searched for an equaliser but each one was chalked off.
Eustace felt that at least should have stood, with Sam Szmodics harshly ruled to be interfering with the eyeline of Vaclav Hladky as Joe Rankin-Costello fired in.
Scott Wharton was later deemed to have fouled the goalkeeper during an aerial duel with the ball dropping to Andrew Moran and he fired in.

McKenna thought both decisions from Stuart Attwell were correct and also argued the Tractor Boys should've had a penalty.
"I thought it should have been a penalty (for Broadhead), yeah," said McKenna. "I haven't seen it back but it looked blatant from where I was.
"Regarding their ones, I thought the one that was given for offside (against Sammie Szmodics) looked a clear offside. You could see it clearly from my position that the striker was a yard in front of Vas and jumping as the ball was struck.
"The one in the second half was a clear foul, I thought. The referee blew it early. I know the ball goes in the net, but everyone heard the whistle before the ball went in. So no dramas there.
"I thought the referee handled it well. It was a competitive game. The crowd get up a bit, as home crowds do when they don't get the decisions they want, but I thought he reffed it well. The decisions, apart from Nathan's penalty, were, by my eye, pretty good."
On the game itself, he added: "Blackburn have a counter-threat, and they set up to give us problems through the middle of the pitch, so we didn't have it all our way, but I thought we had a really good first half.
"I thought we started the second half well to be honest. Probably the one thing we can improve from today is, not just how the game finished, but getting that second goal by being a little bit more clinical. It became a really challenging last 30 minutes.
"We didn't control the game as we would have liked, but sometimes you have to show that other side. I thought we did that really well and got a deserved clean sheet."
