Ipswich Town (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

[simon23]

Said it all along, the fact the season is longer for us with the CWC is the reason we’ve been below par. We’ve prioritised that above all else and accepted we’ll be off it until around now.

We’ve prioritised looked sharper, faster and fitter all over the pitch.

Long unbeaten run coming now and top 4/5 will ge completed easily and the Dippers will be looking over their shoulders in a couple of weeks very nervously.

I have faith.

They would need to have a monumental collapse - 12 pts and with the goal difference it might as well be 13 - they would need to lose 3 games and then we beat them as well plus a draw somewhere....obviously not impossible but how many teams are capable of beating them?

We can’t get carried away, Ipswich are a poor side but we are deffo getting back on track. Phil looks fully fit for the first time this term, as does Kev. Pleased to see youngsters getting proper minutes.
Reports of our demise are premature.
I never felt more like singing the blues….

 

[Centurions]

Considering some thought that was a really weak City team, I'll take the lucky win and the 3 points.

Welcome back Phil, we've missed you.

 

[Big Joe Corrigan]

To those lucky enough to be there, you came across loud and proud from start to finish. Great effort!

To the regiment…

 

[BuryBlue1977]

Problem is, I'm worried he's going to go down again, it's been that type of season.

Don’t worry, the only thing Reuben will be going down on is Maya Jama.

 

[Bluewars II]

Might be our best performance of the season.

Signs of the old City in that performance.

Chelsea was our best performance..this was a decent performance against a very poor side.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Lads looking match fit and a lot sharper than the last few months.

All played well. Even Nunes and Gundogan looked the part.

Kev is still the main geez.

Need to twat Chelsea now and cement top 4.

Too bad it will take them about a week to get back to civilisation and find the signal needed to read this post.

Hopefully now with an influx of new signings and one or two players coming back there is competition for places once again which no doubt helps up the performance.

Had doubts abut the team selection….but we just had too much for Ipswich.

I thought Doku was my Man of the match.

 

[madloaf]

Doku excellent. Some lovely goals. What's not to like?

4 or 5 draws will have them running scared, we’re lucky again yesterday and one injury to Salah or Van Dyck will cause concern.

It ain’t over until it’s over and no fat lady is singing yet.

 

[Bluewars II]

We've missed Ruben this season as much as Rodders for me...

False.

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

It's weird isn't it - don't throw away 2 points at Brentford and we'd be within 10pts of the dippers.
This after our worst run of form since Pep took charge.
Not pretending all is rosy - we've fucked up in a royal fashion - but this is NOT a vintage PL is it
Oh yeah today we were MUCH better

 

[Ajm1985]

71% possession in the second half, woth goals to back it up. Honestly missed having such dominance. The energy levels in the second half, especially, were leagues above what we have seen recently. Nicely done all round.

Still don't like Gundo & Kovacic together, but that McAtee goal was beautiful - energy, decision making & execution.

 

[kaz7]

Players not injured and ill and they are back in the groove

Well done , esp, kev, eddie, gundy , phil and jezzer , hell all of them !

 

[Suffolk Blue]

Firstly (watching on TV) our support sounded awesome, secondly I thought Gundog had his best game this season, neat and tidy, couldn't ask for more

 

[David White]

Wasn’t the most confident start and Ipswich faired pretty well for the first 20/25 minutes.

After that, we looked decent and for some better finishing it would have been 9 or 10. Great away win, clean sheet, a real boost for the goal difference and some positive game time for a few too.

Good job you didn’t read the pre-match thread. Gundy & Kovo both written off :-)

I had doubts too but they played into our hands with 5 at the back.
We actually used our extra man in midfield very well. We were comfortable there all game.

Not sure that midfield would have the same effect against Liverpool, but they were all good today.

Grealish is beyond finished
